Computer Architecture Study Guide

This document contains a question bank for the subject of Computer Organization and Architecture divided into three units. The first unit covers topics like Amdahl's law, RISC vs CISC architectures, Von Neumann architecture, addressing modes, ALU design, operating systems, processor components, and more. The second unit discusses symmetric multiprocessors, parallel processing, instruction and thread level parallelism, performance metrics, and taxonomy of parallel computers. The third unit focuses on instruction pipelining, pipeline hazards, VLIW architectures, vector processors, and multithreaded processors.
