    Computer Architecture: Lecture 1: Introduction

    Uploaded by

    Susmitha Grandhi
    Computer architecture deals with the study of instruction set architecture (ISA) and microarchitecture. It bridges the gap between software layers like applications, algorithms, programming languages, and operating systems, and electronics layers like integrated circuits, logic gates, and physics. Computer architecture has evolved from single processors to multiprocessors and from emphasis on instruction-level parallelism to data-level parallelism with the use of caches, pipelines, and parallelism. The key classes of computers are personal devices, desktops, servers, and supercomputers, each with different critical design considerations like performance, cost, energy efficiency, and throughput.
