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 Objective
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 Outcome(CO's)
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
