Introduction. [image]. 3. Computer Architecture is the conceptual design and fundamental operational structure of a computer system. In this presentation I will try to explain the fundamental concepts of computer architecture. This presentation aims to demystify the basic structure of computer, functional unit, software, type of instruction, instruction set, stack and queue. These element is essential for grasping how computer operate and interact with various application..

Basic structure or functional unit of computer. MEMORY.

SOFTWARE. In a computer system, software is a set of instructions or commands that tell the computer what to do. In other words, software is a computer program that provides instructions to carry out user commands and tells the computer what to do. For example, MS-Word, MS-Excel, PowerPoint, etc..

TYPE OF INSTRUCTION. THREE ADDRESS INSTRUCTION. TWO ADDRESS INSTRUCTION.

INSTRUCTION SET. An instruction set, also known as an instruction set architecture (ISA), is a set of instructions that a microprocessor can interpret and execute, guiding it through arithmetic, data, and input/output operations. There are wo types of instruction set. RISC and CISC..

STACK AND QUEUE. [image] tack: Last in, first out Queue: first in, first out.

CONCLUSION. In conclusion, understanding the fundamental of computer architecture is essential for grasping how computers can function. By demystifying basic structure or functional units, software, instruction sets, stack and queue these are crucial for efficient computing and programming..
