Course Objectives

The aims of this course:

• To provide the data path or data processing part of a CPU is responsible for executing arithmetic and logical instructions on various operand types, including fixed-point and floating-point numbers.
• To explain multiplication and division algorithms of the shift-and-add/subtract type.
• To determine the throughput of a complex data path circuit such as floating-point processor can be substantially increased with low hardware overhead.
• To provide the function of the control unit is to issue to the data-processing unit control signals that select and sequence the data processing operations.
• To study various classes of instruction: data movement, arithmetic, logical, and flow control.

Learning Objectives

The successful completion of this course, Student will be able:

• To learn how to perform computer arithmetic operations and arithmetic-logic units.
• To learn how to design the difference between hardwired and micro-programmed design approaches in CPU control unit design.
