Hamacher Vranesic Zaky Computer Organization 5th Edition 33
Breana Wrape
Computers are usually viewed as having a structure organized into severallevels, ranging from high-level programming languages such as Java to digitallogic circuits. Each level provides specific resources and abstractions for theprogrammer. The course provides students with the basic understanding of thecomputers at the low-lying levels of this structure. This includes programmingin assembly and machine language, computer organization (CPU, DRAM, I/O, andbuses), CPU structure (Datapath and Control), anddigital logic. The presentation is centered on performance and covers topics likecaching, pipelining, and parallel processing. The course presents theoreticalconcepts as well as concrete implementations on a modern, RISC processor. Thefollowing topics are covered in the course.
The sixth edition of this book covers the key topics in computer organization and embedded systems. It presents hardware design principles and shows how hardware design is influenced by the requirements of software. The book carefully explains the main principles supported by examples drawn from commercially available processors.
EMBEDDED SYSTEMS ORGANIZATION. Embedded system definition. RISC processors computer architecture. Memory organization and pipeline. Cache memories. Peripherals. DESIGN TECHNIQUES AND METRICS. Embedded system hardware-software codesign. Design space exploration. Comparative evaluation of discrete CPU, CPU integrated on programmable logic, dedicated ASIC. SYSTEM ON A PROGRAMMABLE CHIP (SOPC). NIOS II architecture. Parallel port, interval timer, JTAG UART interfaces. The Avalon system interconnect fabric. The SoPC builder tools for the hardware design of the embedded system. SOFTWARE PROGRAMMING. Recalls on C language. Layered software organization: device drivers, hardware abstraction layer, C standard libraries. Interrupt handling and code optimization.
