What is this Course About? This course is about the structure and design of digital computers. This is commonly called “computer architecture” – which is instruction set architecture + hardware organization. \cpeg323-08F\Topic0.ppt
Why Study Computer Organization? Not many of you will work for Intel or AMD, BUT… - Embedded systems - Compiler design - Even software developers! \cpeg323-08F\Topic0.ppt
Roadmap for the Semester - General overview - Performance - Instruction sets - Computer arithmetic - Single-cycle machines - Pipelining - Memory systems (RAM, caches, virtual memory) - I/O processing - ILP, Multi-Core chips - Other topics \cpeg323-08F\Topic0.ppt
ABET Outcomes • Ability to apply knowledge of science (e.g., computer architecture and system organization, and related computer science issues), and engineering (e.g., performance analysis and benchmarking, ISA simulation and verification) • Ability to use the techniques, skills and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice • Knowledge of related topics in computer science discipline \cpeg323-08F\Topic0.ppt
