This is the homepage for CS270, Fall 2022. Looking for another semester? Go to this page.

Description

CS 270 presents a top-down introduction to computer architecture after students have completed an introduction to Java programming.

The course contains:

• C programming;
• Number representation;
• The Von Neumann model;
• Instruction Set Architectures;
• Assembly language programming;
• Digital logic and gates.

The concepts in this course will be reinforced through assignments in C, LC3 assembly language, and Logisim based circuit design.

The textbook covers this material in a bottom-up fashion so we will cover the chapters in a different order. See the Progress page for more information.

Graded activities will occur each week.
