CE 401 - Computer Architecture

The course is structured around the three primary building blocks of general-purpose computing systems: processors, memories, and networks. Topics include instruction set architecture; single-cycle processors; hardwired vs. micro-coded FSM processors; pipelined processors; direct-mapped vs. associative caches; pipelined caches; network topology, routing, and flow control; and integrating processors, memories, and networks..
