Course organization
This course presents the theoretical and practical knowledge to implement an algorithm into a digital architecture. Some design alternatives are presented ranging from a pure software, running on a general purpose computer, to an ad-hoc hardware implementation. This design knowledge is fundamental for understanding in depth all mechanisms on the base of any information computing system and all steps of a compilation chain transforming an high-level programming language into machine-level code.
Fundamentals: information coding, Boolean functions, arithmetic.
Digital devices design: combinational circuits, sequential circuits, controller-datapath circuits, programmable units.
Computer architecture: basic principles, instruction set, elaboration unit, memory hierarchy, I/O organization, actual architectures, parallel architectures.
Practical exercises: automatic design of a programmable system, assembly programming of the Intel 80X86 architecture.
