Computer Hardware: Implementation & Application

Computer hardware is the physical substrate that stores, transforms, moves, and presents digital information. Understanding hardware explains performance bottlenecks, software portability, device interfaces, energy use, reliability, and why abstractions such as files, processes, and variables ultimately depend on physical state.
