🏛️ Computer Architecture & Organization

Every program you run, every website you visit, every AI model you use all of it ultimately executes as electrical signals moving through silicon chips at billions of cycles per second. Computer Architecture is the discipline that designs those chips and the principles that govern them.

This course takes you from the foundations of digital logic through the complete design of a modern CPU. You will understand how transistors form gates, how gates form arithmetic circuits, how those circuits become a processor, and how processors are organized into complete computing systems. Every concept is taught with real examples from Intel, AMD, and ARM architectures.

The expanded curriculum includes applied modules on Binary and hexadecimal representation, Signed integers, two's complement, and overflow, Fixed-point and floating-point precision, Boolean algebra simplification, Combinational logic design. Lessons pair formal models with worked examples, diagrams or traces, failure analysis, practice questions, and references for independent verification.
