Difference between Architecture and organization
Posted


  • Architecture is those attributes visible to the programmer
    • Instruction set, number of bits used for data representation, I/O mechanisms, addressing techniques.

    • e.g. Is there a multiply instruction?

    • It is an interface between hardware and software.
  • Organization is how features are implemented
    • Control signals, interfaces, memory technology.

    • e.g. Is there a hardware multiply unit or is it done by repeated addition?

    • Components and connections.
