0301-347 - Computer Architecture

Institution:

Rochester Institute of Technology

Subject:

Description:

The purpose of this course is to expose students to both the hardware and the software components of a digital computer system. It focuses on the boundary between hardware and software operations. Students will learn about a computer system from various abstraction levels from the digital logic gates to software applications. This course will also provide a solid foundation in computer systems architecture. The fi rst half of the course should deal with the major hardware components such as the central processing unit, the system memory and I/O modules. The second half focuses on instruction set architectures. The lab sessions cover hardware description language (HDL) implementations of the hardware functional blocks presented in lectures.
