Computer Organization

Catalog description

A study of logic circuits and computer organization. Students learn how to execute machine level instructions and control the components of a CPU data path. The course covers Boolean algebra representation, basic digital logic circuit design, including combinational and sequential circuits, registers, ALU, data paths, instruction set architectures, memory hierarchy, and instruction level parallelism. Note: This course is a cross-leveled course with CSCI 3170 . For Master’s level programs, no more than 12 credits of didactic courses required for the program may be in cross-leveled courses. Students are ineligible to take the MS cross-leveled course if they took the undergraduate version previously. Graduate students are expected to complete a digital logic circuit design project utilizing advanced techniques that are beyond what would be expected of undergraduate students. Cross-Leveled Course(s): CSCI 3170 Lecture Hours: 3 Repeatability: May not be repeated for credit. Grade Mode: Normal, Audit College Restrictions: School of Comp & Cyber Science Course Level Restrictions: Graduate Semester Schedule Type (Primary): Lecture Schedule Type (Additional): Asynchronous Instruction Click here for the Schedule of Classes.
