Summary on organisation and architecture of computer<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The original purpose of building computers was computing. Without this, most of the computing disciplines today would be a branch of theoretical mathematics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summary<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Computer Architecture<\/span> describes what the computer does.<\/p>

Computer Organization<\/span> describes how it does it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A computer system, like any system, consists of an inter-related set of components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Von Neumann Architecture<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A defining point in the history of computing was in 1944\u20131945. It is the realization that data and instructions to manipulate data were logically the same and could be stored in the same place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The computer design built upon this principle, which became known as the von Neumann architecture<\/em>, is still the basis for a computer today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another major characteristic of the von Neumann architecture is that the units that process information are separate from the units that store information<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This characteristic leads to the following components of the von Neumann architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
