Introduction to Computer Architecture: Exploring Porting, Portability, Build Process, Bench-marking, and Profiling Computer architecture is the design and organization of a computer’s core components, including the central processing unit (CPU), memory and input/output systems. Understanding how these components work together helps developers write efficient software and design systems optimized for specific hardware. In this blog, we’ll break down key concepts such as porting , portability , the build process , bench-marking and profiling , and we’ll take a close look at the 6502 CPU architecture , one of the most influential microprocessors in computing history. What is Computer Architecture? At its core, computer architecture involves the conceptual blueprint of how hardware and software interact. It defines the organization, data formats, instruction sets and techniques used by computers to execute tasks. Key components include: CPU (Central Pr...
