COMPUTER ORGANIZATION AND ARCHITECTURE 

OBJECTIVE:
To understand the basic structure of a digital computer and to study the operations of internal components.

 


 


 

Number Systems - Binary Arithmetic - Boolean algebra - Map Simplifications - Gates - Combinational Circuits - Sequential Circuits.

 



 

Memory: Internal - External - Memory Organization - Associative - Cache – Virtual memory.
CPU: Arithmetic And Logic Unit - Instruction Sets - RISC - CISC - Instruction pipeline -Addressing modes and formats - Register organization - Control Unit Operation - Processor organization.

 



 

External Devices: I/O modules - Programmed I/O - Interrupt Driven I/O - Direct Memory Access - I/O Channels - Asynchronous Data Transfer.

 



 

Processors: Parallel – Multi-core – Mobile – Embedded - Cloud computing.
