| Målsætning : | Computer Architecture is one of the classical topics within computer science. Through this study module the student will acquire understanding and appreciation of a computer system"s functional components, their characteristics, their performance, and their interactions.Also the student will acquire knowledge of interaction between hardware elements and the software controlling those elements. | ||
| Hovedindhold : | Layered architectures and their characteristics. Assembly level machine organization (Instruction Set Architecture). RISC and CISC processors. Memory system organization and architecture. Interfacing and communication. Multiprocessing and alternative architectures. | ||
| Undervisningsform : | Theory combined with practical exercises and working on a course assignment. Theory will be approximately 50% of the time. | ||
| Krævede forudsætninger : | Knowledge of microprocessors and programming corresponding to the second semester. | ||
| Anbefalede forudsætninger : | Programming skills in C (recommended) or C++ (usable). | ||
| Relationer : | Operating systems have a close relationship with computer architechture. Hence this course in Computer Architecture and the course in Operating Systems (OS) can benefit from each other. | ||
| Prøveform : | Mundtlig evaluering på grundlag af kursusopgaver | ||
| Censur : | Intern | ||
| Bedømmelse : | 13-skala | ||
