This paper is a survey of topics introduced in Computer Engineering Course CEC470: Computer Architecture (CEC470). The topics covered in this paper provide much more depth than what was provided in CEC470, in addition to exploring new concepts not touched on in the course. Topics presented include branch prediction, pipelining, registers, memory, and the operating system, as well as some general design considerations for computer architecture as a whole.
The design considerations explored include a discussion on different types of instruction types specific to the ARM Instruction Set Architecture, known as ARM and Thumb, as well as an exploration of …
