Computer Architecture

Computer Architecture

This handbook introduces the internal structure and working of computer systems. You’ll learn how processors execute instructions, how memory is organized and accessed, and how different hardware components communicate. The content focuses on building conceptual clarity, making it easier to understand operating systems, compilers, and low-level programming.

Why This Handbook Matters

Computer architecture forms the backbone of software performance and system design. Understanding it helps developers write efficient programs, debug low-level issues, and make better design decisions when working with systems, embedded software, or performance-critical applications.

Ideal Learners for This Handbook

This handbook is ideal for computer science students, beginners exploring system-level concepts, and developers who want to understand how software interacts with hardware. It’s especially useful for learners preparing for technical interviews or advanced subjects like operating systems and embedded systems.

Prerequisites

This course is suitable for:

• Basic understanding of how a computer operates
• Familiarity with fundamental programming concepts
• Awareness of binary numbers and basic logic
• Willingness to learn system-level and hardware-oriented concepts
