COMP226: Computer Architecture |
This unit is about modern computer architecture. The goal is to understand the design of the machine rather than just know how to use it. We focus primarily on reduced-instruction-set computers (RISC) and include topical issues such as pipelining and memory hierarchies. Practical work uses assembly-language programming and the C programming language.
