Computer organization and design is the study of how hardware components in a computer system are structured and interact to execute programs. It encompasses the architecture of central processing units (CPUs), memory systems, input/output devices, and their interconnections. The field focuses on optimizing performance, power efficiency, and overall system functionality. It also delves into instruction set design, data path implementation, and control unit operations. By understanding computer organization and design principles, engineers create efficient and reliable computing systems that underpin modern technology, from personal devices to supercomputers, enabling seamless execution of software tasks and data manipulation.
