| Title | Computer Logic & Organisation II | | Credits | 4 | | Lecuter(s) | Paul J. Micallef | | Description | - Sequential logic: The ideas of state governed by clocks, state tables, state minimisation techniques are included. These ideas are then applied to registers and counters.
- Computer Arithmetic: Multiplication and Division algorithms and techniques; Round off error; IEEE arithmetic standard; Big-endian and little-endian considerations.
- The control unit: Hardwired and Microprogrammed Control; Design of a computer control unit.
- The memory unit: Design of various types of memories using standard memory IC’s; Memory interleaving; Cache Memory.
- Multiprocessing systems: Virtual Memory; Linking of Object Modules; Memory Management; Security features; Scheduling; Sharing of I/O resources such as printers and disks. | | Reading | - M.
