The aim is to acquaint students with the following topics: Genesis and the evolution of computers. Principle of operation and main parts of numerical PCs. , Harwards and Von Neumanns schema, ALU, the controller, the main memory, the entrance and the exit PCs., the central processor. Stream of information and information processing in numerical computers, the registers, the multiplexors and the instructions. Transaction instruction, the microinstruction, the micro-program, the instruction set and the assembler. Processor architecture CISC and RISC. Bus oriented PCs ., the principle of the bus, the advantages and disadvantages, the examples of the internal bus. Memory PCs. , the principle function of memory elements, the semiconductor memory, the magnetic drive and the tape memory, the optical memory, the memory hierarchy, the virtual memory. Peripheral equipment PCs, the entrance and the exit data, the digitizing and the synthesis analog signal. Direct control of the peripherals by processor, the peripherals controller. Time overlaying activity of the processor and peripheral, the action, the event, the break, the switching context, the direct memory access (DMA), bus for mounting peripheral. Resources escalation speed of numerical PCs., width stream of the data, before - selection of the instructions (Prefetch), the chaining of operation (Pipelining), the coprocessors. Parallel processing of the data, the synchronization and the communication of parallel process, the multiprocessor systems. Reliability of system, the backup of data, the power backup (UPS), the memory ECC, the disk field RAID, the systems resistant against disorders (FT). Built - in (embedded) systems, the control systems, mobile wireless data transfer and mobile systems.
Student is going to regain the basic knowledge of a construction of personal computers, peripheral equipment, networks, operating systems and diagnostic means. After the graduation the student is able to do basic computer maintenance separately, to diagnose and to dispose of HW defects and SW bugs.
