5. Prerequisites by Topic:
C/C++ or Java programming
Elementary digital logic design in Verilog HDL

6. Course structure:
This course consists of 5 credits.
There are 7 hours of lecture every week (including lab hours). There will be a
midterm exam and a final exam, and five homework assignments.

Various homework assignments will be assigned every 2 weeks. Generally, these


must be submitted in class on due date; computer use will be discussed in lectures.
There also will be a 90-minute in-class mid-exam and a 120-minute
comprehensive final exam. The schedule for the mid -exam will be announced in
class; the final exam are scheduled by the Academic Affairs.
There will be 4 lab assignments (involving the design of a single-cycle and
pipelined processor with approximately 5-10 instructions),
Using Verilog HDL and CAD Tools, students will design and simulate a simple
microprocessor through 4 laboratory assignments:
Lab1: Design a Register File
Lab2: Design an Arithmetic Logic Unit
Lab3: Design a Single-cycle microprocessor with a simple instruction set
Lab4: Design a Pipelined microprocessor with a simple instruction set
