CS222 Microprocessors

This course is intended as an introduction to computer hardware and builds upon topics learned in CS203. It covers the techniques used to design and build microprocessors, memory, and other elements of modern-day hardware. Students will learn the fundamentals of machine language and assembly language. Students will also analyze the C compiler and learn how it produces the necessary strings of ones and zeros that will run on the hardware. (Prerequisites: CS203 and MATH135).
