This course gives the students an opportunity to apply the basic concepts that they had learnt in the Digital Circuit course in designing a simple computing system. It provides basic and generic knowledge of digital computer organization and design at the machine and microprogramming levels with the associated assembly language programming concepts. The curriculum will initially involve assembly language programming in a scaled down version of the MIPS processor followed by a realistic version of the MIPS processor, the pipelined MIPS. The course highlights the design and functioning of the control unit, input-output peripherals, and memory unit.
