Computer Architecture Case Study 1

Explain why we need to study Computer Architecture? What is its significance with your field as an IT or CS student? Differentiate Computer Architecture and Computer Organization?


We need to study Computer Architecture because it is the conceptual design and fundamental operational structure of a computer system. It is important to us to have Computer Architecture so that we can understand and learn more about this. As we all know studying computer architecture is important because without this we can't learn how to know what is the design of the motherboard and other designs, that's why it is important to us to know computer architecture. As an IT student, I need to study more about computer architecture and experience how to create and design the structure of a thing. I need to experience how to create and design and have knowledge of it.

The significance of Computer Architecture is that you can design, and architect like making a motherboard that has a new design and has a big store capacity of memories or other things that can be designed. The other significance of it is that you will learn more about designing a thing, to experience some architectural designs, and to apply many things in computer architecture.

The Computer Architecture is a conceptual design and fundamental operational structure of a computer system the importance of it is you can design and create, while Computer Organization is
Computer organization defines the ways in which these components interconnected, and controlled. It is the capabilities and performance characteristics of those principal function units.
