    Course 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 course related questions outside the regular lectures and lab sessions. Q&A sessions are held each Friday (starting October 11) 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.


    Non-Graded Progress Evaluation

    Several moodle Multiple Choice Questions will be available throughout the semester. These are not graded, but are a good exercise to test yourself on the course and lab content.

    The final exam covers the whole AC program (1h30). Labworks will NOT be evaluated in this course.


    Final Exam

    Thrusday December 19th, 8:30AM-10:00AM  (100% of the final grade)

  • TD-TP / Labs

    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


  • QCM d'auto-évaluation/ Self-assessment: MCQ
