In this module student will learn the basic structural design of a computer i.e. Register Transfer Language, Control Unit, CPU etc. They will also learn how all-arithmetic operations are done at architecture level. It also explains the basic organization of Memory and I/O devices.
Register Transfer and Micro-operation: Register Transfer Language, Register Transfer, Bus and Memory Transfer: Three state bus buffers, Memory Transfer; Arithmetic Micro-operations: Binary Adder, Binary Adder-Subtrator, Binary Incrementor; Logic Micro-operations: List of Logic microoperations; Shift Micro-operations( excluding H/W implementation)
Logic Micro-operations: Arithmetic Logic Shift Unit. Basic Computer Organization and Design: Instruction Codes, Computer Registers: Common bus system; Computer Instructions: Instruction formats; Instruction Cycle: Fetch and Decode, Flowchart for Instruction cycle; Register reference instructions.
Central Processing Unit: Introduction, General Register Organization, Stack Organization: Register stack, Memory stack; Instruction Formats, Addressing Modes.
Computer Arithmetic (excluding h/w implementation): Introduction, Addition and Subtraction.
Computer Arithmetic (excluding h/w implementation): Multiplication Algorithms (Booth algorithm), Division Algorithms. Input – Output Organization: Peripheral devices, Input – Output interface. Modes of Data Transfer, Priority Interrupt, Direct Memory Access.
Memory Organization: Memory Hierarchy, Main Memory, Auxiliary Memory, Associative Memory, Cache Memory, Virtual Memory.
