1.1 System Architecture

Overview

System architecture in computer science refers to the way a computer system is designed and organised. It includes hardware components like the CPU, memory, and storage, as well as software components like the operating system and applications. The architecture defines how these parts work together to perform tasks efficiently. Modern systems often have multiple cores for parallel processing. 

Additionally, cloud computing is gaining popularity, where resources are accessed over the internet. Understanding system architecture is crucial for developing and optimising computer programs and ensuring smooth and reliable performance of technology systems.
