CS 2710 - Computer Organization3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
This course provides students with an introduction to the structure of computer hardware, including the components of a modern computer system as well as the tradeoffs necessary to construct such a system. Specific course topics include numeric systems, the role of performance in designing computer systems, Amdahl’s Law, instruction formats, addressing modes, computer arithmetic with both fixed and floating point numbers, single cycle and multi-cycle data-path design, pipelining, the memory hierarchy, caching, and parallel processing using SIMD and MIMD formats. Students will develop small, assembly language programs on a simulator as a means of exploring instruction formats and data-path operation. (prereq: CE 1900 )
