DSC 02: Computer System Architecture

Course Objective

This course introduces the students to the fundamental concepts of digital


computer organization, design and architecture. It aims to develop a basic
understanding of the building blocks of the computer system and highlights how
these blocks are organized
together to architect a digital computer system.

Course Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of the course, students will be able to:


1. Design and Simplify Combinational and sequential circuits using basic
buildingblocks.

2. Represent data in binary form, convert numeric data between different number
systemsand perform arithmetic operations in binary.
3. Explain instruction cycle, pipelining and interrupts.
4. Explain data communication between CPU, memory and I/O devices.
5. Simulate the design of a basic computer using a software tool.
