Students are expected to achieve a good knowledge of computer architecture scientific and technological foundations in order to understand the characteristics of computers at various levels, and their relations with programming tools, as well as structuring of systems via concurrent and cooperating modules.
Students are expected to achieve a good knowledge of computer architecture scientific and technological foundations in order to understand the characteristics of computers at various levels, and their relations with programming tools, as well as structuring of systems via concurrent and cooperating modules.
The student should demonstrate the ability to properly correlating the various issues studied in the course in order to solve problem solving tasks in the definition and design of simple system modules and program performance evaluation. The written part will also assess the ability to present in a clear way a report of the solved problem.
Methods:
- Final oral exam
- Final written exam
- Periodic written tests
Further information:
Two midterms are provided: if taken with sufficient rating, they replace the written part of the exam.

Students will learn
- how to design simple combinatoric and sequential networks,
- how to implement hardware units implementing simple operations
- and how to write simple assembler programs in a subset of the RISC instruction set called D-RISC

Student skills will be evaluated through home works assigned during the lessons, thourgh the mid term essays, and through the written and oral exams at the end of the course.
