Objectives
- Explain the roles of the CPU, memory, and I/O, and how they interact to run programs.
- Convert between binary & decimal and explain how computers represent data like text and numbers.
- Diagnose performance issues like pipeline hazards and explain how caching improves speed.
- Relate high-level code to hardware actions to write faster, more efficient programs.
Pre Requisites
- This course is designed to be accessible to anyone with a passion for technology, but you'll have the best experience if you have the following: Basic Programming Experience: You should have some familiarity with at least one programming language (like Python, Java, C++, or JavaScript). Understanding concepts like variables, if statements, and loops is essential, as it provides the context for why computer architecture is important. We will not be doing heavy coding, but we will be relating architectural concepts back to the code you write. A Strong Sense of Curiosity: The most important prerequisite is a genuine desire to understand what happens "under the hood" of a computer. If you've ever wondered how your code actually runs on silicon, this course is for you. That's all! No prior hardware or electrical engineering knowledge is required. We will build all the necessary concepts from the ground up, starting with the simplest logic gates. No advanced mathematics is needed. Basic algebra is more than sufficient.
FAQ
- Q. How long do I have access to the course materials?
- A. You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.
- Q. Can I take my courses with me wherever I go?
- A. Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don't have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That's up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
