Document Summary
O digital computer data representation: boolean algebra, basic combinational circuits (analysis + synthesis, sequential circuit elements, machine instructions language, arithmetic operation and advanced assembly, computer structure, cpu, machine language, etc, lecture/tutorial slides, p&h (5th revised edition): Students should base their study off of: Chapter 3 arithmetic for computers (module 5) Section 2. 4 signed and unsigned numbers: r. h. katz, contemporary logic design, kernighan and ritchie, the c programming language. 5 graded assignments + 5 pop quizzes: assignments consist of written problems and computer work, and will be posted on mycourses with generally 2 weeks of time to complete assignments. The course introduces the base concepts of computer engineering including: computer architecture and low-level programming, boolean operations, digital circuits. Hour long, covers first 3 modules no date yet: final 50% In this course we will use logicworks, which is pre-installed on campus computers. We will also use a simulator for mips r2000/3000 machines (spim, also installed on campus: download found at www. cs. wisc. edu/~larus/spim. html.
