Abstract. Microprocessors are critical to the information technology. Learning processor design is essential for undergraduate students of computer science and engineering related majors. It is challenging to teach undergraduate students processor design in a limited time. In this paper, we introduce our experience of teaching the processor design with hardware-software collaboration. In addition to hardware circuits, students also learn to design the assembler, loader, and simulator to form a close-loop design flow for processor design. With this hardware-software collaborative approach, the students can complete the course tasks and achieve the course goal more efficiently.
Abstract. Computer organization course is essential for undergraduate students of computing disciplines related majors and minors. Adapting the course content to students of different backgrounds and goals is not easy. In this paper, we introduce our experience of teaching the computer organization course for multiple majors and minors ranging from computer architecture to artificial intelligence. A combination of adaptive lectures and flexible lab practices is designed to meet the requirements of different majors and minors. Reactions from students show the effectiveness of our approach.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
