1. CS 311: Computer Organization
Aim of this course:
This course (CS 311) deals with computer architecture as well as computer organization. Computer architecture is concerned with the structure and behavior of the various functional modules of the computer and how they interact to provide the processing needs of the user. Computer organization is concerned with the way the hardware components are connected together to form a computer system.
