Computer architecture courses can help you learn about processor design, memory hierarchy, instruction sets, and system organization. You can build skills in performance optimization, hardware-software interaction, and parallel processing techniques. Many courses introduce tools like simulation software, assembly language, and hardware description languages, that support implementing and testing architectural concepts in real-world applications.
