3. Evolution of the concept of
computer architecture
• Computer architecture (programmer’s view)
the structure of a computer that a machine language
programmer must understand to write a correct (timing
independent) program for the machine
• Computer organization (implementer’s view)
actual hardware structure and realization
• hierarchical, multilevel description
electronic circuit, logic design, programming,
processor-memory-switch
• functional specification and hardware implementation

4. Recent interpretation of the concept
• Computer architecture
Underlying computational model
 von Neumann, dataflow, …
Level of consideration
 micromachine, processor, computer system
Scope of interest
 functional specification, implementation

9. The design space and its representation
Using DS-trees
• A “consists of” B and C
• A “can be performed by”
B or C
• A “can be executively
performed by” B or C
