Course Goal / Objective
Aim of this course is to explain the important and enduring concepts underlying all computer systems, and to show the concrete ways that these ideas affect the correctness, performance, and utility of application programs.
Course Content
This course provides a programmer's view of how computer systems execute programs, store information, and communicate.It enables students to become more effective programmers, especially in terms of performance, portability and robustness. Topics covered include: performance evaluation and optimization, computer arithmetic, memory organization and management, networking technology and protocols, and supporting concurrent computation.
