Dolphin system architecture?

[Willsolo]

Hi there.
For a software engineering university course, I have to write a (structured) essay about an open source project.
I'd like to write about dolphin because I think it's a great achievement and a well-functioning, cool emulator.

For this essay, I need to have a good understanding of the architecture, testing and data structures for the open source project.
I don't have much knowledge of low-level systems, so I was wondering if there exist any diagrams or guides (or any documentation) about the architecture of dolphin (maybe of just one of the platforms if it is quite platform-specific). Any ideas?

I'd ask this kind of question on irc: #dolphin-emu on freenode, and try to ask precise question like "What is component XXX, how is it emulated, how does it affect the game". For the list components, ask wikipedia for the hardware.
As introduction, read the articles of the last year. It's often both technical and understandable, this will likely lead to good questions for irc. So you would have found eg:
