CSCI 4591 - Computer Architecture

Deals with how assembly language maps to hardware, and basic hardware techniques implemented in computers. Topics include logic design of arithmetic units, data control path processor logic, pipelining, memory systems, and input-output units. The emphasis is on logic structure rather than electronic circuitry. Students must know basic control logic design and be familiar with an assembly language before taking this course. Prereq: CSCI 2525 or ELEC 2651. Semester Hours: 3 to 3
