Computer Architecture And Organization

This course will discuss the basic concepts of computer architecture and organization that can help the participants to have a clear view as to how a computer system works. Examples and illustrations will be mostly based on a popular Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) platform. Illustrative examples and illustrations will be provided to convey the concepts and challenges to the participants. Starting from the basics, the participants will be introduced to the state-of-the-art in this field.INTENDED AUDIENCE :Computer Science and Engineering Information Technology Electronics and Communication Engineering Electrical EngineeringPREREQUISITES : Basic concepts in digital circuit design, Familiarity with a programming language like C or C++INDUSTRY SUPPORT :TCS Wipro CTS Google Microsoft HP Intel
