Project proposals

Could you please ensure that all project proposals are e-mailed to me by the end of the week 19th June 2009.

CPU architecture research

You now need to complete the notes and diagrams discussing the basic architecture principals.

These notes are important and will form part of your revision material.

CPU Architecture

During transition we are going to look at the following topics:

CPU Architecture, looking at the Fetch-Execute cycle and different ways in which processors can be configured for different tasks.

Assembly language, the human readable form of machine code and the types of instructions available.

Introduction to Object Orientated design concepts, you will develop these as you go through the development of your projects.

We will do this by writing a custom CPU Emulator, so we can look at OOP concepts and also explore assembly language.

We will build on this later in the year when we look at addressing modes which we will build into our CPU emulator.

Welcome

This blog will contain information about homeworks, work were doing in class, interesting links to useful articles for your projects etc...

You should always (assuming google keep blogger up!) be able to access this even if the Intranet is down.
