Contact: 26 hours of lectures (two per week) and approximately 17 hours of practice classes
Timetable: Second semester
Objectives:
On successful completion of this subject students should:
- be able to describe the components of current computer systems as well as their interactions
- be able to evaluate the suitability of a given computer for a given task
- be able to analyse the effects of architectural features on the efficiency of a given program and of programs in general
- understand the process of computer design
Content:
Memory hierarchy, processor implementation, pipelining, instruction sets, multiprocessors, input/output, performance measurement, the design process.
Assessment:
Up to three hours of written examinations at the end of the subject. Project work, which is expected to take about 36 hours, must be completed satisfactorily to pass the subject. Weighting of assessment components will be made known at the commencement of the subject.
