New Challenges in Computer Architecture Education

Abstract

This paper provides a brief overview of the development of computer architecture and its impact on approaches to the presentation of appropriate information and computer education. The relative constancy of the concepts that were applied in the architecture of the computer influenced that the classical approaches to the appropriate education are kept until today. The changes that occurred in architecture during the development of computer technology, in conjunction with technological development, required a corresponding adjustment in the sphere of education. The turning point was the advent of the microprocessor, which introduced the x86 architecture into education. The beginning of the new century was marked by the ARM architecture. And today, the RISC-V architecture is emerging more and more as a new design challenge.
