Question

Some aspects of computer architecture describes the capabilities and programming
model of a computer but not a particular implementation. Give a technical explanation
of the general concept of computer architecture and in comparison with the main
types of architecture explain the concept of data processing in the operation of
computer (in terms of similarities and differences)

Answer 1

The technical explanation of the general concept of Computer Architecture is given below :

1. In general, the computer architecture deals with the organization of elements of the system in a way so as to produce the system which is able to perform the computational task.
2. In computer architecture, the memory map is a formulation in the form of rows and column memory banks with definite sizes.
3. Moreover, the connection layout is also formulated for during the design phase of the computer architecture.

The main concept of data processing in terms of operation of the computer is given below :

1. The data processing in computers involves the use of computer registers to store the intermediate results.
2. In data processing, the input data is taken from the input ports such as a keyboard , etc . The data is then manipulated and some sort of arithmetic operations is performed on data to produce the information.
3. The computer system can perform data processing in the following domains such as digital image processing, data storage, a computer program running, etc.
