EECE 2322 — Fundamentals of Digital Design and Computer Organization

4 semester hoursUndergraduateLectureusually offered: fall, spring, summertypical days: M/W/ThBostonTraditional

Presents a global perspective on the design of a full processor taking logic gates as the simplest building blocks. Starts with number systems and data representation and the design of simple combinational and sequential circuits. Continues with an introduction to the instruction set architecture of a selected processor architecture (e.g., RISC-V) and concludes with the construction of a simple processor using a single-cycle and a multi-cycle implementation approach. Assignments include designing and simulating digital hardware models using an appropriate hardware description language (e.g., Verilog), as well as some assembly language to expose the interface between hardware and software.
