COURSE OVERVIEW:
The course is designed to make the students capable of comprehending the fundamental design of a digital
computer. Understanding the hardware that powers the code and how it interacts with the existing
memory and I/O structure during execution at the physical level requires study of computer organisation
and architecture. It aids students in grasping the principles of computer system design so they may expand
on the capabilities of computer organisation to identify and address issues with computer architecture.
COURSE OBJECTIVE (S):
The objectives of this course are to:
1. Understand the basics of computer organisation & architecture.
2. Learn the mechanism of computer arithmetic.
3. Recognize the different memory hierarchy.
4. Study the different I/O mechanism.
COURSE OUTCOMES (COs)
After the completion of the course, the student will be able to:
