Computer Architecture
• Computer architecture is concerned with balancing the performance, efficiency, cost,
and reliability of a computer system.
• Instruction set architecture (ISA): defines the machine code that a processor reads
and acts upon as well as the word size, memory address modes, processor registers,
and data type. This part is the software that makes it run, such as Windows or
Photoshop or similar programs.
• Systems design: includes all of the other hardware components within a computing
system, such as data processing other than the CPU (e.g., direct memory
access), virtualization, and multiprocessing
