Morphology
The phrase is compositionally built from 'classical' (traditional, canonical) + 'architecture' (design/organizational structure), so its general meaning 'traditional or conventional design/organization' is directly derivable from the parts. A B1 learner who knows both words will therefore infer the intended sense in computing (standard, non-quantum design), though they might miss fine technical distinctions specific to the field.
Etymology
Classical architecture in computing means the usual design of computers built from normal parts like processors and memory, not using strange quantum rules, so it refers to the familiar 'building plan' for most hardware and software.
