Computer Architecture
ETC4514 / 3 q.h.
The course uses a customer specification/requirements for a computing device to bring the student through a complete analysis and hardware design. The course introduces the notion of RISC vs. CISC architectural tradeoffs and exposes the underlying structures of several popular CPUs. Register Transfer Notation (RTN) is described and used to provide an assembly language explanation of a machine. Performance improvements using multiple data paths, pipelining and cache memory techniques are also discussed.
