Course Overview
|
Course Synopsis
|
This course focuses on machine-independent assembly language programming and basic architecture of computer systems including fundamental concepts such as register structure, memory organization, addressing modes, organization of peripherals, and machine-level operations. These concepts are integrated through the use of assemblers, linkers and loaders. Students will learn how to write and debug programs using assembly language programming and how to interface assembly language code to C/C++ programs. Students will also learn some basic Boolean logic and how it applies to programming and computer hardware.

- Describe the basic functionalities and limitations of computer system
- Explain the concepts related to computer architecture
- Explain how high-level languages implement arithmetic expressions, loops, and logical structures at the machine level
