Computer architecture or digital computer organization is the conceptual design and fundamental operational structure of a computer system. It’s a blueprint and functional description of requirements and design implementations for the various parts of a computer‚ focusing largely on the way by which the central processing unit (CPU) performs internally and accesses addresses in memory. It may also be defined as the science and art of selecting and interconnecting hardware components to create computers
