**Computer Architecture vs. Computer Organization**

Computer Architecture:

  • Focuses on the functional behavior of computer systems.
  • Involves design implementation for the various parts of a computer.

Computer Organization:

  • Deals with the structural relationships between components.
  • Operational attributes are linked together to realize the architectural specification.

Core Components of a Computer System

The central elements of a computer system are interconnected to perform various operations. These components include:

  • Registers
  • Arithmetic & Logic Unit (ALU)
  • Timing & Control Unit

These units, along with memory and input/output peripherals, work through an interface to ensure the processor executes instructions as needed.
