Computer Architecture

Computer Architecture is the science and art of selecting and interconnecting hardware components to build computers that meet functional, performance and cost goals. Coursera's Computer Architecture catalogue teaches you about the design, function and operation of a computer system. You'll learn everything from the principles of hardware and software interaction, memory hierarchy design, pipelining and parallel processors, to the impact of compiler technology on architecture. Understand the basic building blocks such as transistors, gates, and memory cells, and how they're combined to form complex systems. Through this understanding, you'll be equipped to design, analyze and optimize computing systems for applications across a wide range of disciplines.
