Computer Class
Tuesday, April 21

Computer CenterThis is a recorded video course with live Q&A and discussion.
This course covers foundational knowledge about computer hardware and how it impacts performance.
While it is sometimes less critical to know "what is inside the box" with today's better performing computers, the core structure of our computers, phones, and servers still makes a big difference for our results. This course teaches you about common hardware components, how the pieces relate to each other, and how changes in one aspect can shift your experience. Go over basic components like the CPU, temporary storage or RAM, permanent storage (your hard drive), the graphics processing unit (GPU), and the motherboard. Then find out how these components interact through the boot process, memory hierarchy, caching, and two types of parallel processing.
