Description:

A detailed look at the internal organization and logic of computers.

Addressing modes and stack behavior related to subroutine calls are discussed in detail. The computer organization portion of the course discusses gates, storage circuits, the arithmetic and logic unit, fetch/execute cycles and data paths. Microcoding is discussed in detail.
