The goals are:
- To build up basic knowledge about and insight into the organization of computer systems, from hardware to operating system.
The corresponding competences are:
- Knowledge and understanding:
To obtain knowledge about and insight into the representation of data in machines.
To gain insight into the structure and execution of machine instructions in a simple sequential computer.
Understanding the evaluation of expressions, conditions, loops and function calls as used in high-level programming languages at the level of the machine.
Gaining insight into the organization of memory: memory hierarchies, caching and organization of peripheral memory.
Understanding mechanisms for input-output handling: polling, interrupts, DMA.
Understanding the basic roles of the operating system: process management, memory management and file management.
- Applying knowledge and understanding:
Being able to write a simple program in assembly language.
- Making judgements:
Based on the aforementioned knowledge and insights, being able to make choices between alternative solutions, being able to predict probable evolutions, being able to assess the benefits and drawbacks of innovative approaches.
- Communication:
To be able to clearly express oneself, both orally and in writing, with respect to the aforementioned topics. To be able to properly document assembly language programs.
- Learning skills:
To be able to learn about new hardware architectures or operating systems, starting from the knowledge and insights gained.
