COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE

Introduction to the subject

Prof. Vishwas V. Patange


UNIVERSITY’S STRUCTURE OF CA
SUBJECT
COURSE OBJECTIVES
 To introduce basic concepts of computer organization
and to illustrate the computer organization concepts by
Assembly Language programming.
 To understand operating systems and how they work
with the computer and students will understand the
relationship between hardware and software specifically
how machine organization impacts the efficiency of
applications written in a high-level language.
 Students will be able to make use of the binary number
system to translate values between the binary and
decimal number systems, to perform basic arthmetic
operations and to construct machine code instructions
and students will be able to design and implement
solutions for basic programs using assembly language.
 Students will be able to design logical expressions and
corresponding integrated logic circuits for a variety of
problems including the basic components of a CPU such
as adders, multiplexers, the ALU, a register file, and
memory cells and to explain the fetch execute cycle
performed by the CPU and how the various components
of the data path are used in this process.
COURSE OUTCOMES
 At the end of this course students will demonstrate the
ability to
 learn how computers work
 know basic principles of computer’s working
 analyze the performance of computers
 know how computers are designed and built
 Understand issues affecting modern processors (caches,
pipelines etc.).
