    Computer architecture defines the conceptual design and operational structure of a computer system. It provides a blueprint for how the central processing unit performs internally, accesses memory addresses, and interconnects hardware components to achieve optimal functionality, performance, and cost goals. Computer architecture includes three main sub-categories: instruction set architecture, which defines the instruction set, memory addresses, registers, and data formats seen by programmers; microarchitecture, which provides a more detailed description of how system components interconnect and interoperate to implement the instruction set; and system architecture, which describes how hardware and software components, such as operating systems, are organized and interact at a high level.

    Computer Architecture

    Computer architecture is the conceptual design and fundamental operational structure of a


    computer system .It is a blue print description of requirements and design implementation
    for various parts of a computer . Focusing largely on the way by which the central processing
    unit (CPU) performs internally and access address in memory . it may also define the science
    and art of selecting and interconnecting hardware components to create computers that most
    functional, performance and cost goals.
    (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/computer-architecture 1.1)

    Basic Terminology
    Computer architecture comprises of at least three (3) main sub-categories
    Instruction Set Architecture (ISA), is the abstract image of a computing system that is seen
    by machine language or assembly language programmer, including the instruction set ,
    memory address nodes, processor registers, address and data formats.
    Micro architecture, also known as computer organisation is lower level more concrete and
    detailed description of the system that involves how the content part of the system are
    interconnected and how they interoperate in order to implement the ISA. The size of a
    computer cache for instance is an organisational issue that generally has nothing to do with
    the ISA.
