Computer Organization and Architecture
• Computer organization refers to operational units and their interconnections that realize
• the architectural specifications.
• Architectural attributes
• instruction set
• number of bits used to represent various data types (e.g., numbers, characters),
• I/O mechanisms and techniques for addressing memory.
• Organizational attributes
• hardware details transparent to programmer,
• such as control signals; interfaces between the computer and peripherals;
• the memory technology

•Computer Architecture
• Functional description for various parts of a computer.
• It decides functional behaviour of computer systems.
• Comes before computer organization while designing
a computer.
• Computer Organization
• Comes after decision of architecture is done
• Organization is how architectural aspects
(functions or operations) are implemented or realized
using hardware design
• Organization deals with a structural relationship
