Course information

This course aims to give students an understanding of what's "under the hood" in a modern computer from the perspective of what is useful to know as a programmer. Topics include C programming (including pointers, dynamic memory allocation, and machine representations of data), machine organization, assembly language, and the memory hierarchy. These topics are supported by a series of challenging lab assignments in C and assembly.

Prerequisites: V22.0102 Data Structures
