Computer architecture encompasses the design and integration of software and hardware to enable a computer's functionality. It has evolved from vacuum tubes in the 1940s to microprocessor chips today and includes architectures such as von-Neumann and Harvard, as well as classifications like RISC and CISC. The document also gives an overview of contemporary computer architecture and provides a link for further information.

- 2. WHAT IS COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE ? • Computer architecture means building or designing some rules and methods that can make a computer work by integrating the software and hardware respectively.
- 3. PROGRESS OF ARCHITECTURE • (1940-1950) – vacuum tubes were used • (1950-1964) – transistors were used • (1964-1971) – integrated circuits were used • (1971- present day) – microprocessor chips
- 4. TYPES OF COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE • Von-Neumann architecture • Harvard architecture Other classification is RISC and CISC Sub categories in Computer architecture are ISA (Instruction set architecture), micro architecture and logical design.
