The document outlines 22 topics that will be covered on the final exam for the Computer Organization and Architecture course. These topics include definitions of cache memory, memory hierarchy in terms of access time and cost, differences between volatile and non-volatile memory, RAM and ROM, CPU components, I/O concepts and protocols, and bus architectures. Students will need to demonstrate their understanding of these fundamental concepts of computer hardware and organization.
