This course's major purpose is to outline the architectural aspect of computers. In other words, it is concerned with how computers, as machines, execute instructions at many levels, including the hardware and assembly language levels. Students learn about the fundamental technological structure and evolution of computers, fundamental hardware components, MIPS instructions set architectures and its assembly language, processor microarchitecture including the control unit (MIPS is used as an example), memory hierarchy, storage, and input/output devices. This course can be divided into 2 chapters: Software & Hardware. In the software chapter (Section 1-3) you will learn how to write an assembly language program for MIPS architecture and in the hardware chapter (Section 4-7), I will show you how the internal components of the MIPS processor work together to execute your program. Finally, I prepared several tutorials and assignments with their solutions to help you better understand this topic. Course Outline 1.
