Computer Architecture II

The objective of this course is teaching on special topics of Intel’s 8086 microprocessor and more modern microprocessors. The basic principles have been taught in “Computer Architecture I”. This course includes microprocessor interconnection with memories, I/O peripherals, interrupts, DMA, interrupt calls and programming (keyboard read, display writing, files management, etc). Cache memory operation principles, IA-32 architecture, 80386 operation, IA-64 architecture.

Objectives

Students are learning the hardware and software of Intel’s 80X86 family of microprocessors. The basic interrupt techniques are used for programming with Assembly language.
