Basic functional blocks of a computer: CPU, memory, input-output subsystems, control unit. Instruction set architecture of a CPU - registers, instruction execution cycle, RTL interpretation of instructions, addressing modes, instruction set. Case study - instruction sets of some common CPUs.Data representation: signed number repre-sentation, fixed and floating point representations, character representation. Computer arithmetic - integer addition and subtraction, ripple carry adder, carry look-ahead adder, etc. multiplication - shift-and-add, Booth multiplier, carry save multiplier, etc. Division - restoring and non-restoring techniques, floating point arithmetic.CPU control unit design: hardwired and micro-programmed design approaches, Case study - design of a simple hypothetical CPU.Memory system design: semiconductor memory technologies, memory organization.Peripheral devices and their characteristics: Input-output subsystems, I/O transfers program controlled, interrupt driven and DMA, privileged and non-privileged instructions, software interrupts and exceptions. Programs and processes - role of interrupts in process state transitions.Performance enhancement techniques:Pipelining: Basic concepts of pipelining, throughput and speedup, pipeline hazards.Memory organization: Memory interleaving, concept of hierarchical memory organization, cache memory, cache size vs. block size, mapping functions, replacement algorithms, write policies.
