A computer architecture are all parts of a computer system that make it functional, including all hardware, software, and interfaces. The components that make up a computer are below, and this will be helpful since I am not all that familiar with what the hardware actually does in a computer
CPU (Central Processing Unit) - fetches instructions form memory and processes these instructions
ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit - where the actual execution takes place.
Control Unit - Manages the system while multiple processes are taking place.
General Register - Holds variables and temporary results as the ALU is working.
Program Counter - Contains the address of the instructions to be fetched next.
Special Register - Holds PSW, counters, and stack pointers.
PSW - Holds conditions and determines whether the computer should be in user mode or privilege mode.
Address Bus - connection between RAM chips and I/O devices.
Data Bus - Used to transmit data during processes.
