This document outlines the syllabus for a course on computer organization and architecture. The course is divided into four main topics: digital logic, the computer system, central processing unit, and control unit. Digital logic covers boolean algebra, gates, combinational and sequential circuits. The computer system covers computer functions, memory systems, cache memory, and input/output. The central processing unit covers instruction sets, addressing modes, CPU structure, RISC, and instruction level parallelism. The control unit covers control unit operation and microprogrammed control. The course also includes lectures on parallel organizations. Students are required to submit a journal of 10 assignments based on the syllabus.
