Course Description
This course is an introduction to Computer Architecture and its Organization. It covers topics in physical design of the computer (i.e. computer organization). This course discusses the basic structure of a digital computer and deals with the detail study of data representation in computer system, Register transfer language and microoperations, and organization of the Control unit, the Arithmetic and Logic unit, the Memory unit and the I/O unit.
2. General Objectives
The general objectives of this course are as follows:
· To provide the students with the knowledge of data representation, register transfer language and microoperations
· To provide the organization and designing concept of computer system including processor, computer arithmetic, memory organization and I/O organization.
· To discuss in detail, the operation of the arithmetic unit including the algorithm to add, subtract and multiply signed magnitude data and signed 2’s complement data.
· To study the multiprocessors and pipelining.
· To study the different ways of communicating with I/O devices and standard I/O interfaces
Instructional Techniques
The instructional techniques for this course are
divided into two groups. First group
consists of general instructional techniques applicable to most of the units.
The second group consists of specific instructional techniques applicable to
particular units.
4.1 General Techniques
Reading materials will be provided to students
in each unit. Lecture, Discussion, use of multi-media projector, brain storming
are used in all units.
4.2 Specific Instructional Techniques
Demonstration
is an essential instructional technique for all units in this course during
teaching learning process. Specifically,
demonstration with practical works will be specific instructional technique in
this course. The details of suggested instructional techniques are presented
below:
