Computer Architecture
This course will provide an in-depth understanding of the inner workings of modern digital computer systems and trade-offs present at the hardware-software interface. Topics include: computer abstractions and technology, cost and performance analysis, instruction set architecture, computer arithmetic, datapath and controller design, pipelining, memory systems, input-output systems, and interrupts and exceptions. Projects requiring the use of software tools like the SPIM simulator for MIPS R2000/R3000 RISC processors and the Verilog hardware description language will be given to help crystallize concepts presented in class.
None presently available.
