Full-time form

1. Knowledge of the theory of logical functions (Boolean functions), minimization of logical functions, possession of skills of performing mathematical operations over numbers in different positional systems. 2. Knowledge of elementary skills of discrete mathematics, Boolean algebra and algorithms theory.

The subject «Computer Systems Architecture» permits students to successfully use modern computer hardware and software and is a prerequisite for further study of special subjects. While studying subject «Computer Systems Architecture», students consider computer architecture classifications, instruction architecture levels, architecture of the processors on the base of arithmetic-logical devices and control units with strict and flexible logic. Students are also taught instructions systems, data formats and structures, ways of instructions and operands addressing, micro-algorithms and micro-programs for different operations implementation, how to compare performance of different versions of computer elements design, carry out calculation of the computer address space, develop architecture of the virtual multilevel computer memory and information exchange algorithms between memory elements of different levels.

Lectures, laboratory classes, individual work

Assessment is done in the form of compiling grades received over the semester. The final grade is given to the student as an accumulated result of all grades obtained over the semester – maximum 100 points. The final grade is compiled from the grades for laboratory classes (minimum grade - 36 points, maximum - 60), grades for two modular control papers (minimum 16 points, maximum - 28) and performing independent work (maximum grade 12 points). If the student gains the final grade 60 points or more, the student is assumed to have passed the final assessment. If the student wants to improve his/her result and his preliminary grade is greater than 60, he/she has the right to sit for the extra test, the mark for which cannot surpass 20 points, but the final grade cannot be greater than 100 points.
