Announcements



  • The lectures are in RH 116
  • The recitations are all in RH 803 and RH 317
    • All spring 2012 students must register for the lecture AND a recitation section !
    • The CS 2214 prerequisite  list is as follows :

      • You will satisfy either 1 or 2 below :
                                  1) CS2204 (C- or better for undergraduate computer engineering students)        
                          2)   a) CS2134 (C- or better) and
                                b) MA2312 and MA2322
    • If you satisfy the prerequisite(s) but cannot register, please see your advisor or me to register.

    • The textbook : 
      • We will use the revised print of the 4th edition :
        • Computer Organization and Design, David A. Patterson and John L. Hennessy, 4th edition revised print, Morgan Kaufman, 2009. ISBN : 978-0-12-374750-1.


    • The CS 2214 course  is  on computer hardware.  Specifically, it focuses on instruction sets and main components of a computer : assembly/machine language programming, the central  processing unit (CPU), memory and input/output (I/O) controllers  
    • The instruction set is a major portion of what we call computer architecture.  The CPU, memory and I/O controllers are covered in the context of computer organization, also known as microarchitecture.  
    • Then, we will cover improving the performance and capacity of computers at a cost efficient way by using pipelining and a memory hierarchy.
    • Pipelining will be applied on the CPU to improve its performance
    • The memory hierarchy will be used to improve the capacity of the compute
    • Again, study sections C.1 - C.3, C.5, C.7- C.8 and C.10 - C.11.  Study them except pages on HDLs to be prepared for the course.
    • See the handouts below.
