In this course, you will learn the basic operation of computing systems. Upon completing this course, students should have a high-level understanding of the role played by each major component of the system, including compiler, operating system, assembler, instruction set, and hardware. Programming assignments will be conducted on the departmental PCs running linux. You may also find the tools available on the departmental PCs running windows or you may install the tools on your own computer. However, you must ensure that any programming assignment you turn in functions correctly with the linux installation of the tools.

Course packets are available from the University Copy Center at WEL 2.228, not the Coop as previously indicated. Sorry for the confusion.
Proctor lab hours are now posted on the syllabus.
The 2:00-3:00 discussion section has moved to MEZ 1.102 starting Feb 4.
Problem 2 on homework 3 has been revised. You are no longer required to use Karnaugh maps, nor are you required to do the last two parts, which involve a transistor level implementation of the function given and a comparison of the transistor count of that implementation with a gate level design. The revised homework is now linked as homework 3 in place of the original.
Bert's office hours have changed to MW 11:00-12:00.
