Course abstract
The course is relatively divided into two parts: computer architecture and computer organization. The first part discusses an abstract model of a computer from programmer’s point of view. Students will learn about operation of processor and memory, instruction set, low level data types and programming in assembly language. In the computer organization a multi-level virtual machine interconnection model is used in order to show the main solutions and modern tendencies in the development of various computer architectures.
Learning outcomes and their assessment
After completing the course student will have:
•knowledge about modern computer architecture and organization from programmer’s view;
•skills in coding and program development in assembly language, basics in low-level embedded programming.; •competence to use CPU and memory specifics of a given architecture to increase effectiveness of program code.
