C Computer Architecture and Organization

Catalog description

Term hours: 54 lecture. This course covers the organization and behavior of real computer systems at the assembly-language level. The mapping of statements and constructs in a high-level language onto sequences of machine instructions is studied, as well as the internal representation of simple data types and structures. Numerical computation is examined, noting the various data representation errors and potential procedural errors. (CSU/UC, C-ID: COMP 142).
