Computer Architecture

Computing Engineering
  • ApresentaçãoPresentation
    This curricular unit (CU) introduces fundamental concepts of logic circuits combinatorial and sequential. The students learn how to build a sequential machine and later how to build a full microprocessor. How an operation can be interpreted by a microprocessor is one of the major goals of this CU.
  • ProgramaProgramme
    Lectures Digital Circuits MSI: Logic Gates, registers, counters, memories, multiplexers and decoders. Simulation. Generic basic microprocessor architecture (CPU). Components: ALU, registers and Buses. Instructions and Microinstructions. Data and program memories. Data information path in a CPU: Fetch Operations and Execution. Study of a low cost commercial microcontroller. Development programming environment, simulation, and test. Practical classes: Typical digital components. Basic internal components simulation of a generic CPU architecture. Simple project with a budget commercial microcontroller
  • ObjectivosObjectives
    Understand how computers work, from a microscopic perspective to a macroscopic perspective. Recognition of the potential and limitations of a computer. Understanding of how they interact with the various elements of the structure / architecture of a computer.
