Computer Architecture

In this course, I will be learning the following concepts:

• Binary Representation
• C (programming language) -- K&R
• Memory Management
• RISC-V
• Synchronous Digital Systems (SDS)
• Datapath
• The Memory Hierarchy
• Parallelism
• Input/Output

The internal organization and operation of digital computers.

Comprehending these elements and the tradeoffs in architectural design decisions helps in building robust, efficient, and scalable computing solutions.
