Learning objectives
This course is an introduction to the hardware architecture of computers through the study of the operation of a minimum system with micro-instructions. Putting these concepts into practice when analysing the physical architectures of PCs.
The aim is to study concepts and programming in assembly language on x86 architectures. This course also covers methods of analysis and debugging of the assembler code. The implementation of the concepts addressed by the analysis and programming of many algorithms as assemblers.
