| Teaching aims : | Students know the fundamentals of digital circuit design and are able to develop and draw logic circuits. The are familiar with data processing in microprocessors and are able to describe such mechanisms using block diagrams. The can develop basic programs in assembly and understand their execution within the datapath. Students know the different components of computing systems and are able to explain the advantages of mordern computer architectures. They understand the basic design principles of computer architecture, can identify them in modern processors and can compare the benefit of their implementations . Students are capable of judging a system performance based on common performance metrics and can evaluate architectural proposals with respect to their potential performance improvements. | ||
