AIM
To Study the structure and behavior of processors, memories and input and output
units and to study their interactions.

OBJECTIVES
i. To study the various representations of data, register transfer language for micro-
operations and organization and design of a digital computer.

ii. To teach the concept of micro-programmed control unit, the central processing
unit, stack and instruction formats.

iii. To Study the various arithmetic operation’s algorithms and their hardware implementations and concept of pipelining and vector processing.

iv. To illustrate the techniques to communicate with input and
output devices.

v. To study the organization and operation of various memories and memory management hardware.
