Lesson 1.1.1 Definition and objetives

Definition of computer architecture:

Study of how the components of a computer system are designed and organized: CPU, memory, storage, I/O.Focus on conceptual design and the decisions that impact performance, energy efficiency, and scalability.

Fundamental objectives of computer architecture:

Optimize performance how to execute tasks faster.Improve energy efficiency minimize power consumption and heat.

Scale the architecture for various uses:

from small embedded devices to large servers.Importance of the course Provide a solid foundation for understanding advanced topics benchmarks, CPU performance equation, Amdahl’s Law, memory hierarchies, etc. All present in the following modules.
