Lab for COSC 175

 This course will cover building blocks and design principles of computer systems, including how user programs are translated and executed on hardware. Beginning with Boolean logic and the design of combinational and sequential circuits, the course discusses the design of computer hardware components, microprocessing, pipelining, basic machine architecture, and the interpretation of machine instructions and assembly languages. The course will also introduce operating systems topics, basic memory management, and parallel processing. Projects will include the design of digital circuits and the simulated hardware execution of code. 

Fall semester. Professor Pentecost.
