CSE 30Computer Organization
Introduction to organization of modern digital computers. Students learn how to write programs in assembly, design basic processors capable of executing the assembly programs, and how to build the basic components of processors using digital logic. Topics include assembly programming, combinational and sequential logic, processor performance, processor design, and the memory hierarchy.
