A systematic study of the various elements in computer design, including circuit design, storage mechanisms, addressing schemes, and various approaches to parallelism and distributed logic. Information representation and transfer; instruction and data access methods; the control unit; hardware and microprogrammed; memory organization; RISC and CISC machines.
The objectives of this course are:
- Introduce different processor technologies, performance metrics, representation of numbers, and arithmetic operations.
- Introduce RISC-V architecture, demonstrate its instruction formats and translation of simple C/Java code snippets to RISC-V assembly language.
- Teach how to design processor datapaths, recognize pipelining hazards, and use different techniques to overcome them.
- Introduce and explain memory hierarchy and performance analysis.
- Introduce parallel architecture and parallel programming.
