A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Microprocessor architecture and CPU functional units

Microprocessor architecture is the blueprint that defines how the CPU’s functional units—such as the ALU, FPU, control unit, register file, and instruction decoder—work together to fetch, decode, execute, and store instructions.
