<h2>Key Concepts in Computer Architecture</h2>

<dl>
<dt>Instruction Set Architecture (ISA)</dt>

<dd>The part of the architecture that defines machine-level instructions, registers, and data types.</dd>

<dt>Pipelining</dt>

<dd>A technique that divides instruction execution into stages, allowing multiple instructions to be processed
simultaneously.</dd>

<dt>Cache Coherence</dt>

<dd>A mechanism that ensures consistency in data stored across multiple caches in a multiprocessor system.</dd><dt>Virtual
Memory</dt>

<dd>A memory management technique that gives applications the illusion of more RAM than is physically available.</dd>

<dt>Bus System</dt>

<dd>A communication system that transfers data between components in a computer.</dd>

<dt>Multiprocessing</dt>

<dd>Using multiple processors or cores to execute multiple instructions simultaneously.</dd>

<dt>Superscalar Architecture</dt>

<dd>A design that allows multiple instructions to be executed in a single clock cycle.</dd>

<dt>Branch Prediction</dt>

<dd>A technique used to guess the outcome of a conditional operation to improve execution speed.</dd>
