ARHITEKTURA RAČUNARA

After passing the exam, it is expected that the student will be capable to: 1. Recognize decimal numbers with fixed and floating point (fixed-point and IEEE 754 floating-point notation) and calculate the results of basic arithmentical operations with these numbers, 2. Analize and describe in detail functioning of the sequential circuit of arbitrary complexity, 3. Design the sequential circuit based on the task description, 4. Describe in detail different instruction types, their formats and their binary representation in the computer, 5. Programing in MIPC assembly language: Convert programs or their parts written in the C programming language into the corresponding MIPS assembly language, 6. Analize in detail functioning of an arithmetic-logic unit used for execution of the operations requested by the instructions of the introduced MIPS assembly language, 7. Analize in detail functioning of the datapath (processing unit) and control unit of the genetal purpose computer used for simple – single-clock-cycle, but also for current – multiple-clock-cycle execution, 8. Analize in detail functioning of the computer’s control unit based on the finite state Moore machine with fixed, but different number of states per instruction.
