Pretend that you are a computer engineer who has been tasked with designing the architecture
of a personal computer, an embedded computer or a network computer (your choice). Using
the terminology and concepts covered in the course, write a 2-3 page essay about what things
you would consider in your design and how the different parts of the architecture work
together.
Specifically, you should address the following, as they relate to the computer you are designing:
• memory design and setup
• input and output devices
• system software
Basically, imagine that you need to explain to someone what things need to be considered in
designing the kind of computer you chose and what your recommendations would be. Include,
also, what directions development might go in the future (again, for the specific computer you
are designing).
