COMPUTER ORGANIZATION AND ARCHITECTURE
UNDERSTANDING THE STRUCTUREAND FUNCTIONALITY OF
MODERN COMPUTER SYSTEMS
Presented by : Rachit Joshi
INTRODUCTION
• Computer architecture defines the structure and behaviour of computer systems.
• Computer organization explains how hardware components interact.
• Both concepts are essential for designing efficient computing systems.
COMPUTERARCHITECTURE
• Instruction set architecture (ISA)
• Processor design
• Memory management
• Input and output systems
COMPUTER ORGANIZATION
• Control unit
• Arithmetic logic unit (ALU)
• Registers
• Data paths
CENTRALPROCESSING UNIT (CPU)
• The CPU executes instructions.
• It performs calculations and controls system operations.
• It consists of the control unit,ALU, and registers.
MEMORY ORGANIZATION
• Primary memory
• Secondary memory
• Cache memory
• Virtual memory
• Keyboard
• Mouse
INPUTAND OUTPUT DEVICES
• Monitor
• Printer
• Storage devices
ADVANTAGES
• Faster data processing • Improved performance
• Better resource management
• Efficient system design
CONCLUSION
• Computer organization and architecture provide the foundation for understanding how computer systems work.
• They help engineers create efficient, reliable, and highperformance computing devices.
