WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
COURSE OUTLINEABOUT MIKHAILBIBLIOGRAPHYHARBOUR.SPACE 
COMPUTER ORGANISATION AND SYSTEMS
The module’s goal is to give basic knowledge of computer systems organisation and design. Understanding architecture and design process of microprocessors and other digital microelectronic devices is at the core of the module. First week’s materials covers Verilog hardware definition language (HDL), modern design flow of microelectronic devices and their basic components. During the week, students have hands on experience with prototyping microelectronic devices with field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). During second week, common essentials of synchronous circuits design are covered. Students learn how to implement algorithms directly in hardware and how simple microprocessor is designed. Third week is devoted to more advanced topics in
computer architecture, including pipelined processors,
caches and virtual memory design. All covered topics are supported with design or programming labs using Quartus software suite and Altera-Intel FPGAs.
