System Design

What does Computer System mean?

A computer system is a basic, complete and functional

computer, including all the hardware and software
required to make it functional for a user.
It should have the ability to receive user input, process
data, and with the processed data, create information
for storage and/or output.
During the data processing stage, instruction sets,
known as programs, are provided to let the system
know what to do with the entered system data.
Without these programs, the computer would not
know how to process data that enters the system,
and the data might be discarded. Known as a
stored program computer, this type of computer is
the most common in use today.
System design is the process of defining the
elements of a system such as the architecture,
modules and components, the different interfaces
of those components and the data that goes
through that system. It is meant to satisfy specific
needs and requirements of a business or
organization through the engineering of a coherent
and well-running system.
Computer architecture is a
specification detailing how a set of
software and hardware technology
standards interact to form a computer
system or platform. In short, computer
architecture refers to how a computer
system is designed and what
technologies it is compatible with.
A module is a software component or
part of a program that contains one or
more routines. One or more
independently
developed modules make up a
program.
An enterprise-level software
application may contain several
different modules, and
each module serves unique and
separate business operations.
Computer components are all the
parts that make up a computer.
Components include software and
hardware: The software tells the
hardware what to do and the
hardware executes the commands.
Working together, these components
make up a system that can relay
commands to a central processing unit,
identify the actions needed to carry out
the commands, and send the
instructions to the component that
carries out the command.
