GATE Computer Science Engineering(CSE) 2027 Test: Organisation & Architecture

A set of principles and methods that specify the functioning, organisation, and implementation of computer systems is known as computer architecture. A system’s architecture refers to its structure in terms of the system’s individually specified components and their interrelationships.

Below are the types of Computer Architecture:
i) Von-Neumann Architecture
ii) Harvard Architecture
iii) Instruction Set Architecture
iv) Microarchitecture
v) System Design

The three main subcategories of computer architecture are:
i) Microarchitecture
ii) Instruction set architecture
iii) Systems design

The CSA is used to speed up the addition of multiplicands.

The time required to access a part of the memory for data retrieval.

IA-32 architecture is suitable for a wide range of data types.

The MIMD stands for Multiple Instructions Multiple Data.

In CISC architecture more emphasis is given on the instruction set and the instructions take over a cycle to complete.

The above is used to generate control signals in different types of system architectures.

Cache’s are extremely essential in single BUS organisation to achieve fast operation.

The ISA is an architectural standard developed by IBM for its PC’s.

Since capacitors are used the charge dissipates over time.

The SDRAM uses buffered storage of address and data.

The controller gets the request from the device needing the memory read or write operation and then it multiplexes the address.

The flash memory functions similar to the EEPROM but is much cheaper.
