This course provides a comprehensive understanding of computer organization and architecture, covering number systems, data representation, functional units, Von Neumann architecture, buses, CPU structure, instruction cycles, addressing modes, microoperations, I/O organization, memory hierarchy, cache, DMA, pipelining, parallel processing, Flynn’s taxonomy, and pipeline hazards, developing an understanding of efficient computer system design.
Course Outcome:
CO1: Apply number systems, binary arithmetic, complements, and digital codes to represent and manipulate data in computer systems.
CO2: Explain the organization and functioning of computer systems, including functional units, bus structures, data representation, and the Von Neumann architecture.
CO3: Analyze CPU organization, instruction formats, instruction cycles, addressing modes, interrupts and microoperations for efficient program execution.
CO4: Explain the principles of input/output organization, interface techniques, memory-mapped and isolated I/O, and Direct Memory Access (DMA) operations.
CO5: Analyze memory hierarchy, cache memory, associative memory, address mapping, and memory organization for efficient storage and data access.
CO6: Explain pipelining concepts, pipeline hazards, instruction-level parallelism, Flynn's taxonomy, and parallel processing architectures to evaluate processor performance.
