What is this Course About?
This course is about the structure and design of digital computers. This is commonly called “computer architecture” – which is instruction set architecture + hardware organization.

Why Study Computer Organization?
Not many of you will work for Intel or AMD, BUT…
- Embedded systems
- Compiler design
- Even software developers!
