Digital Logic
Boolean algebra. Combinational and sequential circuits. Minimization. Number representations and
computer arithmetic (fixed and floating point).
Machine instructions and addressing modes. ALU, data-path and control unit. Instruction pipelining,
pipeline hazards. Memory hierarchy: cache, main memory and secondary storage; I/O interface
(interrupt and DMA mode).
Programming in C. Recursion. Arrays, stacks, queues, linked lists, trees, binary search trees, binary
heaps, graphs.
Algorithms
Searching, sorting, hashing. Asymptotic worst case time and space complexity. Algorithm design
techniques: greedy, dynamic programming and divide-and-conquer. Graph traversals, minimum
spanning trees, shortest paths
Theory of Computation
Regular expressions and finite automata. Context-free grammars and push-down automata. Regular
and contex-free languages, pumping lemma. Turing machines and undecidability.
Compiler Design
Deadlock. CPU and I/O scheduling. Memory management and virtual memory. File systems.
Databases
R-model. Relational model: relational algebra, tuple calculus, SQL. Integrity constraints, normal
forms. File organization, indexing (e.g., B and B+ trees). Transactions and concurrency control.
Computer Networks
Concept of layering: OSI and TCP/IP Protocol Stacks; Basics of packet, circuit and virtual circuit-
switching; Data link layer: framing, error detection, Medium Access Control, Ethernet bridging;
Routing protocols: shortest path, flooding, distance vector and link state routing; Fragmentation and
IP addressing, IPv4, CIDR nbfimBasics of IP support protocols (ARP, DHCP, ICMP), Network
Address Translation (NAT); Transport layer: flow control and congestion control, UDP, TCP, sockets;
Application layer protocols: DNS, SMTP, HTTP, FTP, Email.
