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 makes possible to write computer programs that are faster,smaller and less prone to errors. This allows the programmers to appreciate relative cost of
operations and the effect of programming choices.
For me as an IT student the significance of this study is that, this could be the foundation and source of knowledge to have better ideas and a foundation where we could invest and gain useful ideas, in terms of architectural designs and other related specifications of computer architecture
Computer Architecture is the conceptual design and fundamental operational structure of a computer system or the combination of computer organization and instruction set design and Computer Organization is the sequence of the given instructions implemented on a processor.
