Computer Architecture Essentials

Computer Architecture Essentials introduces the fundamental design principles behind how computers work, covering key components such as the processor (CPU), memory, input/output systems, and data pathways. It explains instruction execution, performance optimization, storage hierarchy, and hardware organization. This course or topic helps learners understand how software interacts with hardware, the role of machine language, and modern architectural concepts like pipelining, parallel processing, and multi-core systems—essential knowledge for computer engineering and system-level programming.
