How a computer is built and how the pieces talk to each other. This course is completely free. We start from the big picture — CPU, memory, I/O, and the system bus — then grow into more topics over time.
After Lesson 1 you should be able to look at a computer-system block diagram and name every box: what the CPU does, what memory stores, what I/O is for, and why a bus sits in the middle carrying address, data, and control.
First-year and second-year engineering students, anyone starting a Computer Organization course, and engineers who want a clean mental model before caches and pipelines.
One published lesson so far. More topics will be added to this map.
Yes. No coupon and no payment. Lessons are open articles.
No. Lesson 1 is conceptual. Later lessons may add RTL when we cover datapaths.
The public article explains cache/DRAM with a video-buffering story. This course is the full Computer Architecture track, starting from the system diagram.
