Institution:

The College of New Jersey

Subject:

Description:

Prerequisites: CSC 230 and CSC 270, both with a grade of C or higher; non-majors may use CSC 250 in lieu of CSC 230 Introduces the architecture of a general-purpose computer by considering its structure at the hardware and software levels through the instruction set. This project-oriented course stresses design and implementation of the processor of a computer. Introduces design and simulation of combinational and sequential logic circuits, the design of the instruction set for a von Neumann architecture, and the writing of programs in an assembly language for such a machine. Topics include combinational logic design; finite state machines; instruction set architectures; elements of computer organization; RTL; processor and hardware control unit design; computer arithmetic and ALU design; memory subsystem and cache design; reduced instruction sets; and I/O interfaces.
