    Course Rationale:

    The computer lies at the heart of computing. Without it most of the computing today would be a branch of theoretical mathematics. To be a professional in any field of computing today, one should not regard the computer as just a black box that executes programs by magic. All students of computing should acquire some understanding and appreciation of a computer system’s functional components, their characteristics, their performance, and their interactions. This course can help the students in this regard.

    Course Objectives:

    The objective is to enable the students to understand computer architecture in order to structure a program so that it runs more effectively on a real machine. Also, to provide an insight in selecting a system to use and to make them able to understand the trade-off among various components such as CPU clock speed vs memory size. 

    Course Outcomes (CO's):

    After completing this course, students will be able to

    • CO1  Understand the internal working procedure of a computer system
    • CO2  Identify different components of a computer system
    • CO3  Compare between different generations of computer systems
    • CO4  Determine which hardware blocks and control lines are used for specific instructions
    • CO5  Detect pipeline hazards and identify possible solutions to those hazards
    • CO6  Show how to cache design parameters affect cache hit rate
    • CO7  Map a virtual address into a physical address
