This course focuses on the design of the CPU and computer system at a functional level. Topics include CPU instruction sets and functional units, control unit design, interrupt handling and DMA, I/O support, memory hierarchy, virtual memory, buses and bus timing, and an introduction to instruction level parallelism, multithreading, and multiprocessing. Hardware security issues will also be discussed. Prerequisite: CMPS 2240 or ECE 3200 Knowledge of an assembly programming language
Number systems and data representation

The course maps to the following performance indicators for Computer Science (CAC/ABET) and Computer Engineering (CAE/ABET):

(CAC PIa1, EAC PIa1): Apply and perform the correct mathematical analysis.

(CAC PIc1): Identify constraints on the design problem and establish criteria for acceptability of solutions.
(EAC PIc1): Follow systematic and logical design procedures and define specifications to meet project requirements.

(CAC PIc2): Carry solution through to the most economic/desirable solution and justify the approach.
(EAC PIc3): Consider alternative designs and choose the optimal solution.

(CAC PIi2): Use appropriate simulation software and/or hardware design tools application.
(EAC PIk1): Use appropriate tools, simulation software, or hardware design tools to solve engineering problems.

(CAC PIj1): Understand performance and cost as these relate to software/firmware-based and hardware-based implementations.

(EAC PIj3): Understand the relation of classical topics in engineering with their implementation in modern technologies.
