Objective:
- To learn the internal organization of CPU and physical memory unit, different types of instruction set architecture used in CPUs, hardware support for operating system functions, I/O subsystem design, and hardware support for security.
- Basics of Computer Organization: Digital logic level, Microarchitecture, Instruction set architecture design, Basic arithmetic circuits, Assembly programming.
- Memory Management: Memory management on x86 and ARM platforms, Segmentation, Paging and virtual memory, Multi-level memory protection, Cache organization, Microkernel design in assembly language for memory management.
- Hardware for Process Management: Hardware support for advanced scheduling concepts, Inter and intra process protection, Interrupt service routines.
- Input/Output Subsystem: Direct Memory Access, Peripheral interfaces like SPI, I2C, PCIe, Block devices, Embedded system architecture.
- Hardware Security: Crypto accelerators, Trusted platform module, High assurance boot and tamper detect, Hardware based side-channel attacks.
- Assembly Programming: Demonstrating assembly programming by implementing standard high level language constructs, segmentation, task switching, interrupt service routines, paging. Embedded ARM kit peripheral interfacing.
