The document outlines the topics covered in a course on computer architecture and organization. Section A covers boolean algebra, logic gates, combinational and sequential logic blocks. Section B discusses instruction set architecture, addressing modes, and instruction set formats. Section C explains CPU architecture, fetch-decode-execute cycles, pipelining, and memory hierarchy. Section D introduces parallelism, instruction level parallelism through pipelining and superscaling, and processor level parallelism through multiprocessor systems. The document also lists several recommended textbooks.
