New Episode Every Monday at 1pm.

In this episode we introduces fundamental computer science concepts related to processor architectures and types. It explains the von Neumann and Harvard architectures, detailing their differences and common uses, and contrasts CISC and RISC processor designs based on their instruction sets. The text also describes multi-core and parallel processing systems as ways to enhance performance. Finally, it introduces the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) as a specialized processor for visual data and other accelerated applications, often working alongside a CPU.
