10. 2015-12-4\cpeg323-08F\Topic0.ppt10 What is this Course About? This course is about the structure and design of digital computers. This is commonly called “computer architecture” – which is instruction set architecture + hardware organization.

11. 2015-12-4\cpeg323-08F\Topic0.ppt11 Why Study Computer Organization? Not many of you will work for Intel or AMD, BUT… - Embedded systems - Compiler design - Even software developers!

12. 2015-12-4\cpeg323-08F\Topic0.ppt12 Roadmap for the Semester - General overview - Performance - Instruction sets - Computer arithmetic - Single-cycle machines - Pipelining - Memory systems (RAM, caches, virtual memory) - I/O processing - ILP, Multi-Core chips - Other topics

13. 2015-12-4\cpeg323-08F\Topic0.ppt13 ABET Outcomes Ability to apply knowledge of science (e.g., computer architecture and system organization, and related computer science issues), and engineering (e.g., performance analysis and benchmarking, ISA simulation and verification) Ability to use the techniques, skills and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice Knowledge of related topics in computer science discipline
