Computer
Architecture studies the techniques used to design and implement the principle
components of a computer system and the mechanisms that can be used to
quantitatively evaluate the expected performance capabilities of the different
design possibilities. This page covers the following topics related to Computer
Architecture : Introduction, Historical Overview, Fundamentals of Computer
Design, Optimizations of the Memory Hierarchy,Instruction Level Parallelism ,
Data Parallelism, Thread-Level Parallelism, Warehouse Computing, Domain
Specific Architecture.
This note explains the following topics: Number Systems and
Arithmetic, Boolean Algebra, Karnaugh Maps, The Quine McCluskey Algorithm,
Combinational Circuits, Synchronous Sequential Logic, Registers and Counters,
Register Transfer and Micro operations, Basic Computer Organization and Design,
Micro programmed Control, Floating Point Data, Pipeline and Vector Processing.
This note will describe
the basics of modern processor operation. Topics covered includes: computer
system performance, instruction set architectures, pipelining, branch
prediction, memory-hierarchy design, and a brief introduction to multiprocessor
architecture issues.
This lecture note explains the basic principles and current practices of
computer architectures and organizations, including instruction set design,
pipelining, caching, virtual memory, and parallelism.
