Co-requisite: A Course on “Digital Electronics”.


Course Objectives
● The purpose of the course is to introduce principles of computer organization and the basic
architectural concepts.
● It begins with basic organization, design, and programming of a simple digital computer and
introduces simple register transfer language to specify various computer operations.
● Topics include computer arithmetic, instruction set design, micro programmed control unit,
pipelining and vector processing, memory organization and I/O systems, and multiprocessors
Course Outcomes
● Understand the basics of instruction sets and their impact on processor design.
● Demonstrate an understanding of the design of the functional units of a digital computer
system.
● Evaluate cost performance and design trade-offs in designing and constructing a computer
processor including memory.
● Design a pipeline for consistent execution of instructions with minimum hazards.
● Recognize and manipulate representations of numbers stored in digital computers
