Physics 203 - Computer Organization and Interfacing

Institution:

Wofford College

Subject:

Description:

A course situated at the point where software meets hardware. From there it reaches downward to the microcode level and upward to the system level. To meet the needs of scientists and computer scientists, the logical and physical foundations on which computer systems are built are developed with enough rigor that functioning computer systems can be successfully altered for new applications during the laboratory component of the course. The algorithm design and control programming progresses during the course from the microcode and machine language level, through hand assembly, to full assembly methods. The course concludes with an analytical comparison of competing contemporary architectures. (3/3/4) STAFF
