Computer Organization and Microprocessor

This document outlines a course on computer organization and microprocessors. It will be a 3 credit course taught for 3 hours per week. Students will be assessed through formative and summative exams, as well as lab projects. The course objectives are to understand computer system structure, functional units, instruction sets, memory hierarchies, and input/output. On completion, students will be able to explain processor structures, arithmetic, microprogramming, memory/IO organization, instruction level parallelism, and multicore architectures. The course will cover computer architecture, organization, structure, functions, data movement, storage, and control.

ARCHITECTURE & ORGANIZATION 
 Architecture is those attributes visible to the programmer
 Instruction set, number of bits used for data representation,
I/O mechanisms, addressing techniques.
 e.g. Is there a multiply instruction?

 Organization is how features are implemented


 Control signals, interfaces, memory technology.
 e.g. Is there a hardware multiply unit or is it done by repeated
addition?
Architecture & Organization 
• All Intel x86 family share the same basic 
architecture
• The IBM System/370 family share the 
same basic architecture
STRUCTURE & FUNCTION
 Structure is the way in which components relate 
to each other
 Function is the operation of individual 
components as part of the structure
FUNCTION
 All computer functions are:
 Data processing
 Data storage
 Data movement
 Control
OPERATIONS (1) DATA MOVEMENT
OPERATIONS (2) STORAGE
