CSN-221: Computer Architecture and Microprocessors
(Autumn 2018-2019)B. Tech. (CSE & ECE) II Year, Semester I
- Students who have registered for this course, please join in Piazza.com class [Sign-up link: https://piazza.com/iitr.ac.in/fall2018/csn221/].
- Class will start from July 18, 2018.
- This is a course of Four (4) credit.
- It consists of Three (3) lecture hours per week and One (1) hour tutorial for each of the four sub-batches.
- The basic thrust of the course would be to familiarize students with the architecture of a processor and machine level programming.
- We will try to stick to the basic course outline as given in Syllabus, but we may deviate a bit.
- Prerequisite: EC-104 (Digital Logic Design).
- Performance Evaluation: Class Work Sessional (CWS) = 25%, Mid-Term Exam (MTE) = 25%, End-Term Exam (ETE) = 50%.
- CWS (25% marks) will be computed by a weighted sum of different components.
-
This is a core course for both B.Tech. (CSE), B.Tech. (ECE) Second Year and Minor Specializations (Total Strength: ~170).
