Computer Engineering Option - Computer Architecture ECED 3403   Computer Architecture
CREDIT HOURS: 3
This course deals with controllers, processor instruction sets, and memory systems. The student will study design methods, implementation techniques, modelling techniques, and performance analysis. Reduced instruction set architectures (RISC), pipelining, pipeline hazards, and their implementation for modern high speed applications will be studied. The student project will require a team to design and implement (or simulate) a RISC architecture.
