Welcome!

Prerequisite: CIT 593 or equivalent. CIT595 explores various topics in digital computer organization, and introduces the fundamental building blocks used to design processor hardware. The building blocks also help understand memory organization (cache, virtual memory & disk) in the modern computer systems. We also look at techniques that are used to enhance processor performance at the hardware and software level. On the non-hardware level, we look at the role of operating system and the other system software that help run application software on the hardware. Course will also discuss miscellaneous topics such as RAID, Error Detection and Correction, and I/O systems.
