Description
Computer Organization and Architecture explores the fundamental structure and operational principles of computer systems. The course covers key topics such as digital logic, data representation, instruction set architecture, CPU design, memory hierarchy, input/output systems, and control unit operations. Students will gain an understanding of how hardware and software interact at the machine level, how instructions are executed within the processor, and how performance is influenced by architectural choices. Through theoretical analysis and practical examples, this course provides the foundation for understanding the internal workings of modern computing systems, essential for further study in systems programming, embedded systems, and computer engineering.
