| objectives | The course educates students in the integration of key topics from algorithms, computer architecture, operating systems, compilers, and software engineering, in one unified framework. Building a general-purpose computer system from the ground up. Techniques in the design of modern hardware and software systems, and major trade-offs and future trends are introduced. Throughout the course, many cross-section views of the computing field, from the bare bone details of switching circuits to the high level abstraction of object-based software design are presented. |
