Hardware Architecture

Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Civil and Environmental)

Hardware architecture refers to the high-level design and organization of a computing system's physical components, including the CPU, memory hierarchy, buses, and I/O systems, and how they interact to execute instructions. Computer engineers and chip designers work with concepts like instruction set architecture (ISA), pipelining, and cache design when developing processors and computing systems.
