Note: Credit may not be gained for both 433-241 and 431-204 Digital Electronics and Computer Systems 2 (from 1995; Computer Engineering 2)
Credit points: 9.5
Coordinator: Dr. Z-Q. Liu
Prerequisite: Computer Science 433-142 (prior to 1994, 433-102)
Contact: 26 hours of lectures and 12 hours of tutorials
Timetable: Semester one
Objectives:
On successful completion of this subject students should:
- understand the general concepts related to the structure and organisation of all computer systems
- be familiar with the architecture of one specific system and be able to write small programs for this system in assembly language
- understand the basic concepts of digital logic, be familiar with various standard combinational circuits and be capable of designing small combinational and sequential circuits
Content:
Principles of computer architecture are introduced from a layered point of view, beginning at the level of data representation and progressing through the machine language execution cycle, addressing modes, and symbolic assembly level of language. Interfacing and communication, as well as fundamental notions of an operating system are also introduced.
Assessment:
Up to three hours of written examinations at the end of the subject. Project work, which is expected to take about 30 hours, must be completed satisfactorily to pass the subject. Weighting of assessment components will be made known at the commencement of the subject.
