TESC Computer Architecture Course

[ryoder]

I am doing pretty well in this course even though it hasn't started yet.
I just finished my 7/12 assignment.
The online syllabus I am using is probably the same one the course will use but who knows. I don't actually start the course until the beginning of next month but by then I hope to have most if not all of the assignments already done.

This course is not easy but with repeated reading of several sources online and in print, the material sinks in. There are youtube videos I watched on floating point math and modulus division that helped.

I learned basic assembly language using the MARIE tool which is really kind of fun. Student Resources -- Essentials of Computer Organization and Architecture, Second Edition


This site has a great little program which lets you build logic circuits graphically and actually run them by clicking on toggle switches and hooking up clocks.
