Goal(s)

  • Understand how a processor works by studying its architecture and the circuits that make it up.
  • Understand how a processor executing a machine language program runs and interacts with its memory.

Content(s)

  • Elementary memory components (flip-flops, registers, memories)
  • Sequential circuits and finite automata synthesis
  • Principles of algorithmic machine architectures: from simple cases to the processor

These concepts are illustrated by circuit descriptions in the synchronous reactive systems language Lustre.
It enables students to take a designer's point of view by giving descriptions in Lustre of the various components and validating them by simulation.

Prerequisites
