Minor students: register for the minor! Application procedure You apply via OSIRIS Student Registration using OSIRIS Yes Aims The Module Computer Systems (Module CS) is a module for the bachelor Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. The Module contains a Common part (mandatory for both CS and EE students), an Electrical Engineering specific part (mandatory for EE students) and a Computer Science specific part (mandatory for CS students)   Common part Computer Architecture and Organisation Design circuits using basic logic gates Calculate with different number representations Understand mechanisms within a processor Program a processor Indicate the elements of a computer system and explain their functionality Design specific parts of a computer system   Project for CS students: Integrate the knowledge and skills that are taught in the CAO and OS parts. Content Computer Architecture and Organisation (CAO) The architecture and organisation of computer systems are presented. Computer organisation deals with elementary knowledge and skills, required for designing digital systems. Furthermore, basic principles of components of a processor (CPU) are discussed as well as their relation. The processor is analysed based on the separation into a data- and control path. The operation and the structure of these paths will be discussed as well as the cooperation of the different components (e.g. the ALU, registers and busses). Besides that, attention will be paid to microprogramming (the basic principles are explained on the basis of different types of CPU’s) and to the Instruction Set Architecture (ISA), the link between software and hardware. Computer architecture concentrates on the processor and its environment. Students are taught the subsystems of which a computer system is constructed, how these subsystems behave and how they, together, determine the behaviour of the overall computer system. The design of elements within the memory hierarchy and I/O modules will be elaborated   Project In the Module CS project, students learn various techniques from different disciplines that are needed to design, implement and test a (prototype of) a combined hardware-software system. To be able to design, implement and test a combined hardware-software system, knowledge and skills concerning Computer Architecture and Organization (CAO), Operating Systems (OS), and basic mathematics are necessary.  Assumed previous knowledge (additional) requirement(s) for minor students: Maths A level or equivalent and basic programming skills Module Module 5 Participating study Bachelor Technical Computer Science Required materials Book All: Computer Architecture and Organization; An Integrated Approach; Miles J.
