Microarchitecture

In electronics, computer science and computer engineering, microarchitecture, also called computer organization and sometimes abbreviated as µarch or uarch, is the way a given instruction set architecture (ISA) is implemented in a particular processor. A given ISA may be implemented with different microarchitectures; implementations may vary due to different goals of a given design or due to shifts in technology.

"Computer organization" redirects here. For organizations that make computers, see List of computer system manufacturers. For one classification of computer architectures, see Flynn's taxonomy. For another classification of instruction set architectures, see Instruction set.

Computer architecture is the combination of microarchitecture and instruction set architecture.
