Organization and Architecture In describing computer system, a citnton i often made between computer architecture ang compiaer organization Computer arcitocture roar o hose albules ofa systam visa toa programmer oF put anothar way, those atibutes tat have a dect impact onthe logical execution ofa program. CCompuler organization efor othe operational unis and ter interconnection that realize the architecture specication. Examples of architecture attributes include te intucton set, the numberof to represent various dat ‘ypes (e.g. umbers, and characters), 10 mechanisms, an techrique for addressing memory Examples of organization atrbutes include those hardware details transparent to th programmer, such a8 onto signals, inrfacesbetwoon the computer and peripherals, athe memory tachnolbgy use.
