 “A computer is a data processing machine 
 which is operated automatically under the 
 control of a list of instructions (called a 
 program) stored in its main memory.”

 Computer Architecture 
 “Computer architecture refers to those 
 attributes of a computer system visible 
 to programmers, or those attributes 
 that have a direct impact on the logical 
 execution of programs.”

 Typical Attributes 
  The instruction set (instruction types and 
 operations) 
  Basic data representation methods 
  I/O mechanisms 
  The basic units in the CPU 
  Functions of the major components 
  Instruction execution 
  Memory organization (memory addressing 
 techniques) 
  The ways in which the basic components are 
 interconnected

 Why this Course ??? 
  To be professional in any field of computing 
 today, not to regard the computer just as a 
 black box executing programs by magic. 
  To understand funtional components that 
 build up a computer system, their 
 characteristics, performance, & interaction 
 between them. 
  To understand computer architecture in order 
 to develop a program that runs efficiently on 
 a a system. 
  To understand the tradeoff among various 
 component features, such as CPU clock speed 
 vs. memory size by design a system
