Computer organization and architecture answer

Answer 1

Computer organization is how operational attributes are linked together and contribute to realise the architectural specifications.

Computer architecture is the architectural attrributes like physical address memory,CPU and how they should be made and made to coordinate with each other keeping the future demands and goals in mind.

Computer architecture comes before computer organiation.Its like building the design and architecture of house takes maximum time and then organisation is building house by bricks or by latest technology keeping the basic layout and architecture of house in mind.

Answer 2

Architecture refers to those characteristics you need to consider in order to develop a program in assembly language. Those includes microprocessors instruction set, word size (8 bits, 16 bits, etc.), available registers (those visible for programming), data types and addressing modes.

Organization refers to implementation, characteristics not visible when programming in assembly like the controls signals to actually implement instructions, what technology is used to implement RAM or microprocessors components, operational frecuency within components, physical size of each components, number of data paths used to communicates components inside the microprocessor.

Arhitecture is whether your car have automatic or manual transmission. Organization is whether it use a carburetor or electronic fuel injection.

Answer 3

Computer Organization is the study of internal parts of computer, how computer is created, what makes a computer, etc. Its a study of Computer Architecture. e.g. what do u mean by CPU, ALU, Memory (RAM), ROM, Cache Memory, Hard Drive or Hard Disk, Mother Board, what is a Processor, How computer SPEED is measured and similar things. It involves learning meanings of terms such as KB, MB, GB, TB (Tera Bytes), MHz (Megahertz), GHz (Gigahertz), etc, etc. Computer Organization is one the the MOST Important and basic topic in Computer Science.

Answer 4

An architecture is design.But not all design is architecture.Architecture establishes constraints on downstream activity and those activity must produce artifacts.But architecture does define an implementation.But design defines the implementation.

Answer 5

Computer architecture refers to those attributes of a system visible to a programmer or put another way those attributes that have a direct impact on the logical execution of a program. Computer architecture is define as a "The art and science of assembling logical elements to form a computing device." It sets the standard for all devices that connect to it and all the software that runs on it. It is based on the type of programs that will run (business, scientific) and the number of programs that run concurrently. Computer organization refers to the operational units and their interconnections that realize the architectural specifications. Computer organization is a study of a Computer Architecture. E.g. Memory, Registers, RAM, ROM, CPU, ALU, 16 bit/ 32 bit/ 64 bit architecture, what different parts makes a computer, etc.

Answer 6

Computer architecture means behavior and structure of system while "computer organization" deals with how the various hardware components interact with each other to perform various functionalities (micro instructions) and are usually transparent to the user

Answer 7

A computer's architecture is its abstract model and is the programmer's view in terms of instructions, addressing modes and registers. A computer's organization expresses the realization of the architecture. Architecture describes whatthe computer does and organization describes how it does it. Architecture and organization are independent; you can change the organization of a computer without changing its architecture. For example, a 64-bit architecture can be internally organized as a true 64-bit machine or as a 16-bit machine that uses four cycles to handle 64-bit values. The difference between architecture and organization is best illustrated by a non-computer example. Is the gear lever in a car part of its architecture or organization? The architecture of a car is simple; it transports you from A to B. The gear lever belongs to the car's organization because it implements the function of a car but is not part of that function (a car does not intrinsically need a gear lever).

Answer 9

Computer organization and architecture answers can be just about anything. It really depends on the question that was asked for example.
