Hardwarearchitecturen
Hardware architecture refers to the structural design of computer systems, describing how processing units, memory, storage interfaces, and I/O channels are arranged and interact. It focuses on what the hardware can do and how efficiently it can do it, independent of the manufacturing process used to produce the components.
In practice, hardware architecture includes the instruction set architecture (ISA) as seen by software, the microarchitecture
Common concepts include von Neumann and Harvard architectural styles, RISC vs CISC design philosophies, and the
Design goals balance performance, power efficiency, area, and reliability. Key trade-offs involve clock speed, instruction-level parallelism,
Examples include x86-64 and ARM ISA implementations, RISC-V openness, GPU architectures for graphics and AI workloads,
