Provides an overview of computer architecture, focusing on the von Neumann architecture and its components, including the CPU and memory management units.
Covers the components of a processor, ISA classifications, specific ISAs like MIPS, assembly language examples, and the importance of machine instruction regularity.
Covers the introduction to Controller Area Network (CAN) and CANopen protocols used in spacecraft avionics systems, including network standards, future trends, and communication objects.
Covers pipelining in computer architecture, focusing on its role in enhancing performance through instruction-level parallelism and addressing associated challenges.
Explores MIPS assembly language, covering function calls, memory management, and data structures, including recursive functions, programming constructs, arrays, and linked lists.
Explores the concept of locking for mutual exclusion in OS, covering race conditions, parallelism, atomic instructions, deadlock prevention, and best practices.
