Includes the basics of digital logical design, computer organizationand architecture including assembly language, processor design, memoryhierarchies and pipelining. Students examine the detailed constructionof a very simple computer. Problem sets use Beta-Sim, a RISC simulatorwritten by Mike Wessler. A higher level view of a modern RISCarchitecture is studied, using the Patterson and Hennesseyintroductory text, from both the programmers point of view and thehardware designers point of view. The distinction between RISC andCISC architectures is emphasized.Added by ruthless on 2007-02-02 13:19:21
