Define based on components
Structure
Define based on how it behaves
Functions
The four main types of structure
CPU
memory
i/o
system bus
Function has four main types
Movement
processing
storage
control
2 design approaches
Bottom up

Under the computer the are four components they are m i s c
Memory
IO
system bus
CPU
Under the m i s there are also components included
Register
alu
CPU system interconnection
control unit
This architecture has an i/o, CPU and Memory that is connected through the system bus and under the memory, the program and the data are already on combined and its cost effective
Von Neumann architecture
This architecture was just like Von Neumann architecture but under the memory program and data are separated but merely connected to system bus
Harvard architecture
A set of instruction
Program
This type of memory is temporary recourse electricity to run and detailed instructions provided by operating system
Random access memory
This type of memory is prominent and performs boot up process
Read only memory
This type of memory is static
Static random access memory
The circuit consists of basic gates and clock to Store data
Flip Flop
This type of a memory is a dynamic
Dynamic Ram
It is the main ingredient of dynamic Ram
Capacitor
Difference of sram and dram
Refresh rate
periodic refresh
the interval when data is being
Refresh rate
It is for DRAM and it is faster than Sram
Periodic refresh
A computer architecture has
Blueprint
provide design of computer
CPU
A computer organization has a
