Catalog Description: Spring. Prerequisites: Computer Science 171 and 255. Digital circuits, efficient algorithms for computer arithmetic, floating point accelerators, micro-programming, memory technology and hierarchies, I/O subsystems, interrupt processing and DMA strategies, communications interfaces, and advanced architectures, including RISC and cache organization.
Semester Details:
This is the second course in computer organization and architecture. This course will involve studying the register transfer level of the control unit, micro-programming, pipelining, caching, interrupt handling, virtual memory (paging), and I/O programming. We will also look at SIMD, MIMD architectures, message passing multi-processors and dataflow machines.Particulars: Students should have a thorough understanding of the SISD von-Neumann architecture. Grades will be based on quizzes, homework, one or two midterm exams, and a final exam.No book is required. Notes will be provided in class.
