Brief Introduction
This course in computer architecture will take you from an understanding of digital design using combinational logic and synchronous sequential building blocks to building your own single-cycle multicycle, and pipelined microprocessors.
Description
Microprocessors are an incredibly useful tool because they are cheap, flexible, and allow you to control physical systems in powerful ways. In this class, you will learn to build microprocessors as well as to program and build systems from them.
Knowledge
- By the end of this course, you should be able to:
- Write simple programs in C and assembly language
- Build embedded systems involving software and hardware
- Design single-cycle, multicycle, and pipelined microprocessors
