Class 11th Computer Chapter 5 – “Computer Architecture” focuses on the fundamental structure and organization of a computer system. Key topics typically covered in this chapter include:
- Definition of Computer Architecture: Understanding computer architecture as the design and organization of a computer’s components, including hardware and how they interact.
- Basic Components of a Computer: Overview of the main components, including the Central Processing Unit (CPU), memory (RAM and ROM), input devices, output devices, and storage.
- CPU Structure: Detailed explanation of the CPU’s functions, including its primary components: the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), Control Unit (CU), and registers.
- Memory Hierarchy: Discussion on the different types of memory, such as primary memory (RAM, cache) and secondary storage (hard drives, SSDs), and their roles in data storage and retrieval.
- Data Flow: Understanding how data moves within a computer, including the role of buses (data, address, and control buses) in facilitating communication between components.
- Instruction Set Architecture (ISA): Introduction to the concept of ISA, which defines the set of instructions that the CPU can execute, and how it influences software development.
- Types of Computer Architectures: Brief overview of different architectures, such as von Neumann and Harvard architecture, highlighting their characteristics and differences.
