COURSE INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES:

The course covers aspects of design and architecture of computers. What are components of
computer, what are the architectures & designs of these components and how they communicate or
transfer data with each other? The course also covers implementations assembly language for
practical understanding. In assembly language the course will deal with all the statements that will
help in conversion of algorithm to assembly language instructions.
The objectives of this course are to discuss from simple to complex architecture of computer.
What are the computer components? The design and architecture of these components including
RAM, Cache, ROM, Processor, Registers, Busses, etc. Implementation of commands that are relevant
to these components. These commands will help creation of low level programs using all these
components. Other assembly command to communication or uses of buses, registers, RAM etc will
be used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

Computer Organization goal is to make student understand the construction of computer, basic
requirement of their designs & architecture, constraints etc. It will help student to imagine how computer
processes work and how different components of computer interact with each other to achieve desired
execution of commands.
The main goal of assembly language is to help student understand in practical aspects what
happens when a higher level programming instruction is converted into assembly code. The cost of
programming by interacting with different components of computers through implementation in
assembly language the theoretical concept discussed in the class. Student will be able to write down
complex code of assembly and can easily convert algorithms in assembly execution forms.
