Cou
rse textbook Florent de Dinechin "protopoly" (This document covers many aspects of computer architecture, including AC and AO. It shall not be considered as lecture notes for the AC/AO lectures as it contains much more information).
We also highly recommend the following references:
Computer Organization and Design, Fifth Edition: The Hardware/Software Interface - David Patterson & John Hennessy - ISBN:0124077269 9780124077263
Architecture Logicielle et Matérielle - P. Amblard et al - online pdf (in French)
Assistances / Q&A Sessions
Q&A sessions are organized so you can ask cou
rse related questions outside the regular lectures and lab sessions. Q&A sessions are organized each Monday (starting October 2) from 1:00 to 2:00 PM in room 501.208. If you have questions but cannot attend Q&A sessions due to other lectures (humanities, sport...), contact the lecturer.
Warning: No Q&A session on November 13th and November 27th.
Contrôle continu / Progress Eval
3 Moodle Multiple Choice Questions exams will be organized during the couruation se. The first one will not be evaluated and allows students to self-assess their knowledge and learn to use the MCQ Platform. The next two ones will be evaluated. The final grade will be computed from the two MCQ and from a final exam that will cover all the AC program (1h30). Labworks will NOT be evaluated in this lecture.
- MCQ 1 will take place on week 43 (mandatory but not evaluated)
- MCQ 2 will take place on week 47 (20% of the final grade)
- MCQ 3 will take place on week 49 (20% of the final grade)
See the dedicated section below.
Final Exam
Tuesday December 21th, 8:30AM-10:00AM (60% of the final grade)

- 2018/2019 examen noté Remarque : à l'époque tous les documents étaient autorisés. Ce n'est pas le cas cette année (donc le sujet sera nécessairement un peu plus simple)
Follow-up
This course is a direct pre-requisite for "Computer Architecture" (lectured by Lionel Morel) and an indirect one for "Operating Systems" (lectured by Guillaume Salagnac).

Labworks (aka "TD/TP") subjects are grouped into a single booklet available in electronic version below. This booklet contains all the labwork subjects for the AC lecture (TD1&2, TP1-3). Note that it is not planned to distribute hard copies of this booklet. The booklet contains important instructions regarding the specific organization of labworks. Please read them carefully.
During lab sessions we will simulate digital circuits using the Digital software. Digital is a easy-to-use digital logic designer and circuit simulator designed for educational purposes. It is a multiplatform free software (Java) so you can download it and use it on your own machine: https://github.com/hneemann/Digital
