Computer architecture I
Lecturer /contact:
Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. R. G. Spallek, Dr.-Ing. T. B. Preußer
Component of the following modules:
INF-B-330, INF-LE-EUI, INF-LE-MA, IST-05-PF-GS, MATH-BA-INFG
Frequency:
The course takes place in winter semester.
Time and place:
Please take time and place from the teaching offer catalogue of the faculty informatics.
Contents and qualification aims:
The goal of this course is imparting knowledge about principles of computing technology. Subsequent to course Technical Principles it starts with the treatment of complex sequential circuit. Introduction in binary coding and methods of data processing makes it easier to understand the design of different computer components. Based on the operation principles of Von Neumann computer CISC an RISC architecture features will be treated. The course ends with Communication channels, organization of memory and interaction of individual processor components.
Table of contents:
- Introduction
- Information representation and processing
- Von Neumann architecutre
- System components of computers
- Architectural characteristics of RISC and CISC
- Memory organisation
- Communication channels
- Computer Architectures
