dce 2009 Course Overview • Principle and organization of digital computers, • Bus organization and memory design, • Principle of computer’s instruction set and programming in assembly language (some popular processors are used such as MIPS, Intel x86, ARM, …), • Interface between the processor and peripherals, • Performance issues in computer architecture. 9/14/2009 ©2009, CE Department 3
dce 2009 Why study Computer Architecture • To be a professional in any field of computing today, you should not regard the computer as just a back box that executes program by magic. • You should understand a computer system’s functional components, their characteristics, their performance, and their interactions. • You need to understand computer architecture in order to build a program so that it runs efficiently on a machine. • When selecting a system to use, you should be able to understand the tradeoff among various components, such as CPU clock speed vs. memory size. 9/14/2009 ©2009, CE Department 4
