<COURSE INTRODUCTION>

Course code: 21ECSC201
Credits: 4

The Computer Organization & Architecture course covers the core principles of computer systems, including memory hierarchy, input/output mechanisms, interrupts, pipelining and the basics of parallel processing. It offers a thorough understanding of how modern computer systems operate and interconnect at both hardware and software levels. By bridging the gap between hardware and software, this course equips future engineers with the skills to design efficient, scalable and robust computing systems. A key component of the course is a hands-on activity where students design a simple processor using a simulation tool, providing them with valuable insights into the instruction lifecycle and the internal workings of processors.

COURSE OUTCOMES

  • Acquire basic knowledge in computer fundamentals, performance analysis and interconnection principles in modern computing.
  • Build memory modules to perform I/O operations.
  • Apply Instruction Set Architecture principles to effectively design and implement datapath in computer systems.
  • Explain the concept of parallelism with reference to computer performance.
  • Integrate and simulate all modules to develop a complete processor, followed by a comprehensive performance analysis.
