I will have extra office hours before each exam.My office is McQuarrie Hall 212 (phone: 408-924-5133).e-mail: [email protected] Classes:Feb.4,2008, last day to drop or withdraw without a “W” grade.Course Description Introduction to the basic concepts of computer hardware structure and design, including processors and arithmetic logic units, pipelining, and memory hierarchy.Course material is organized into the following units: - Introduction to digital logic and microcode - Conventional Von Neumann architecture - The internal representation of information - Instruction formats and addressing, instruction sets - Machine and assembly language programming - The fetch/execute model of computation - RISC/CISC, SIMD/MIMD parallel architectures - Memory architecture and algorithms: cache, virtual memory, paging, segmentation - I/O architecture: interrupts, memory-mapped I/O - Overview of distributed systems, multiprocessors, networks, parallel systems COURSE OBJECTIVES: The objectives for this course include:- Students will gain an understanding of digital logic and how it is used to build a computer system. - Students will begin to understand the function and operation of the CPU.- Students will learn how microprogramming and assembler instructions areused to control the operation of the CPU - Students will develop an understanding of the format of instruction sets and the operation of the instruction cycle. - Given an instruction set, students will be able to write assembler routines using that instruction set. - Students will gain an understanding of the role of the other components of a computer system such as busses and memory and how they work together. - Students will learn the difference between CISC and RISC architecture.

Teaching Methodology: The course is given through two lecture periods each week. This course will utilize lecture, discussion and hands-on lab work as the main tools for presenting the course material. Students will be expected to read the text, and be prepared to discuss the readings and the assignments in class. Homework assignments will generally take the form of problems from the text book or assembler programming projects. Students will also be expected to write and present brief summaries over parts of the course material. I will augment the information presented in the textbook with my own ideas and other resources. Students in the course are expected to complete: assigned readings, assignments, and projects. Study Groups: You may find it worthwhile to arrangestudy groups for all material in the course. I encourage collaboration learning but not cheating in class. You may collaborate with your classmates on assignments but you have to do your own work. Plagiarism is not allowed in this class.. Each one of you will deliver a 20—25 minutes presentation in class. a presentation on some aspect of the topic that will not be presented by the instructor. Students willbe graded on their understanding of the topic, how completely they cover the topic, and the clarity of their presentation The material will supply by the instructor. This productive activity could radically alter your future potential . Attendance Policy: Class Meetings: You are required to attend all class meetings. If you miss a meeting, it is your responsibility to obtain notes from a fellow student. Office hours are not meant for individual lectures. Class attendance is useful to the student as a means of acquiring knowledge and clarification, and is a prerequisite for class participation. Class participation is the active engagement in questions and answers, taking part in cooperative learning exercises, and contribution of comments in class sessions. Students are expected to read the assigned material, work the assigned exercises prior to class, and to be prepared to discuss them in class. One or two absences over the course of the semester is no cause for alarm, but more than that has the potential to seriously impact your ability to achieve a decent grade. Since roll call will not be taken in lecture or discussion sections, your attendance is generally optional. COURSE REQUIREMENTS The course is composed of four components: lectures, homework, programs, andexams. The homework are based on lecture material and textbook readings. The programs will focus on assembly language programming. Examinations will be based on lectures, homework, and the lab Examinations: All examinations will be announced at least one week in advanceand will cover material discussed in class and the text book. Test material will be drawn from the
