Provides an overview of computer architecture, focusing on the von Neumann architecture and its components, including the CPU and memory management units.
Covers the components of a processor, ISA classifications, specific ISAs like MIPS, assembly language examples, and the importance of machine instruction regularity.
Covers best practices for optimizing vector performance in C++, including using arrays instead of vectors when the size is known and reserving capacity in advance.
Covers processor architecture, evolution of performance, algorithms to computers transition, registers, instructions, arithmetic unit, and memory management.
