CSCI 274 Computer Architecture
(Formerly MAT 274)
3 hours
This course will discuss the relationship between software and the hardware on which it operates, dealing with fundamental issues in computer architecture and design. The material covered will range from the primitive operations of modern computing machines to important security issues relating to the design of computer architectures. Along the way, we will study binary arithmetic, instructional sequencing, the management of computer memory, and the fundamentals of input and output.
