Class Details
This course studies the basic instruction set architecture and organization of a modern computer. It provides a programmer’s view of how computer systems execute programs, store information, and communicate. Over the semester the student learns the fundamentals of translating higher level languages into assembly language, and the interpretation of machine languages by hardware. At the same time, a model of computer hardware organization is developed from the gate level upward.
