Grading Policies Assignments will be submitted electronically through

ANGEL and must be submitted by 5:00pm on the due date. No late assignments will be accepted.

Most programming assignments will follow the “pair programming” paradigm

Duplicate assignments will receive duplicate grades of zero. Second offenses will result in a final course grade of F.

Grades will be posted on the ANGEL website See TA about questions on the assignments; see instructors

about grading questions on the exams Must submit email request for change of grade after

discussions with the TA or instructor December 12 deadline for filing grade corrections; no requests

for grade changes/updates will be accepted after this date


What is Pair Programming?

Two programmers work side-by-side at one computer continuously collaborating on the same design, algorithm, code, or test

The fourteen principles of pair programming Share everything Play fair – take turns

“driving”, when not “driving” don’t be a passive observer, do be active and engaged

Don’t hit people – stay on task (so no reading email or surfing) … Take a nap (or a break from working together) every afternoon

Why do it? Has been shown to improve productivity and the quality of

software

Course Goals and Structure

Introduction to the major components of a computer system, how they function together in executing a program, how they are designed

MIPS assembler programming using the spim system VHDL design simulation using Mentor Graphics ModelSim

Prerequisite: CSE 271 (INTRO TO DIGITAL SYSTEMS. Introduction to logic design and digital systems, boolean algebra, and introduction to combinatorial and sequential circuit design and analysis)

If you are also taking CSE 472 you will learn yet another assembly language (Motorola 68HC12)


spim Assembler and Simulator

spim is a simulator that runs MIPS32 assembly language programs

It provides a simple assembler, debugger and a simple set of operating system services

It implements both a simple, terminal-style interface (spim) and a visual windowing interface (xspim and PCSpim)

(Version 7.3) available as xspim (or spim) for unix, linux, and Mac OS X

- Installed on the CSE unix/linux machines in the lab

PCSpim (or spim) for Windows (NT, 2000, XP)- Installed on the CSE windows machines in 220 IST and/or can

be downloaded and installed on your own PC from

http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~larus/spim.html


vhdl Simulation ModelSim is a hardware description language simulator

from Mentor Graphics Simulation (gate-level and RTL-level) and integrated debug

environment- Verilog and VHDL

- Intuitive GUI for post-simulation debug and analysis

http://www.model.com/products/products_se.asp - ModelSim SE is installed on the windows machines in 220 IST

ModelSim PE Student Edition is available for free download from

http://www.model.com/resources/student_edition/student_default.asp

If you are taking CSE 471 or 478 you will gain even more experience with the Mentor Graphics tools


ModelSim Screen Shot


What You Should Already Know How to write, compile and run programs in a higher

level language (C, C++, Java, …) How to represent and operate on positive and negative

numbers in binary form (two’s complement, sign magnitude, etc.)

Logic design How to design of combinational and sequential components

(Boolean algebra, logic minimization, technology mapping, decoders and multiplexors, latches and flipflops, registers, mealy/moore finite state machines, state assignment and minimization, etc.)

How to use a logic schematic capture and simulation tool (e.g., LogicWorks)

Quote for the Day

“I got the idea for the mouse while attending a talk at a computer conference. The speaker was so boring that I started daydreaming and hit upon the idea.”

Doug Engelbart


The Evolution of Computer Hardware

When was the first transistor invented? Modern-day electronics began with the invention in

1947 of the transfer resistor - the bi-polar transistor - by Bardeen et.al at Bell Laboratories


The Evolution of Computer Hardware

When was the first IC (integrated circuit) invented? In 1958 the IC was “born” when Jack Kilby at

Texas Instruments successfully interconnected, by hand, several transistors, resistors and capacitors on a single substrate


The Underlying Technologies

Computer Organization and Design

This course is all about how computers work

But what do we mean by a computer? Different types: embedded, laptop, desktop, server

Different uses: automobiles, graphics, finance, genomics,…

Different manufacturers: Intel, AMD, IBM, HP, Apple, IBM, Sony, Sun …

Different underlying technologies and different costs !

Best way to learn: Focus on a specific instance and learn how it works

While learning general principles and historical perspectives

Why Learn This Stuff?

You want to call yourself a “computer scientist/engineer”

You want to build HW/SW people use (so you need to deliver performance at low cost)

You need to make a purchasing decision or offer “expert” advice

Both hardware and software affect performance The algorithm (CSE 465) determines number of source-level

statements

The language/compiler/architecture (CSE 428/421/331&431) determine the number of machine-level instructions

- (Chapter 2 and 3)

The processor/memory (CSE 331&431) determine how fast machine-level instructions are executed

- (Chapter 5, 6, and 7)


What is a Computer?

Components: processor (datapath, control) input (mouse, keyboard) output (display, printer) memory (cache (SRAM), main memory (DRAM), disk

drive, CD/DVD) network

Our primary focus: the processor (datapath and control)

Implemented using millions of transistors Impossible to understand by looking at each transistor We need abstraction!

Advantages of Higher-Level Languages ?

Higher-level languages

As a result, very little programming is done today at the assembler level

Allow the programmer to think in a more natural language and for their intended use (Fortran for scientific computation, Cobol for business programming, Lisp for symbol manipulation, Java for web programming, …)

Improve programmer productivity – more understandable code that is easier to debug and validate

Improve program maintainability Allow programs to be independent of the computer on which

they are developed (compilers and assemblers can translate high-level language programs to the binary instructions of any machine)

Emergence of optimizing compilers that produce very efficient assembly code optimized for the target machine


Machine Organization

Capabilities and performance characteristics of the principal Functional Units (FUs)

e.g., register file, ALU, multiplexors, memories, ...

The ways those FUs are interconnected

e.g., buses

Logic and means by which information flow between FUs is controlled
