CS: Computer Organization and Architecture

This course covers essential aspects of computer systems, spanning CPU organization, memory architecture, and I/O design. Students explore instruction encoding, addressing modes, and CPU types (RISC, CISC). The curriculum delves into Register Transfer Language, memory organization (RAM, virtual memory), and input-output design. Additionally, it addresses array processors, multiprocessor systems, and parallel processing languages, providing a comprehensive understanding of computer architecture and organization.
