Computer Organization and Architecture

(ECE3004)
 Objectives:
 To demonstrate the application of discrete mathematics, Boolean
algebra, and simple digital design to the field of computers and
computer architecture.
 To describe the functioning of the control unit and look at the
different implementations of the control unit (hardwired and micro
programmed)
 Recognize and analyze the basics of hierarchical memory and
virtual memory.
 To describe I/O system and its interconnection with CPU and
memory.
 To expose the learners the different architectural and organizational
design issues that can affect the performance of a computer such
as Instruction Sets design, Pipelining, RISC architecture, and
Superscalar architecture.
 Recognize and illustrate parallel architectures and interconnection
networks.
