Course Objectives

The course begins with discussions of the architecture of computer hardware and progresses to an examination of system software, including its relationship to the hardware, its structure and design, and its impact on application software, system developers, and end-users. Operating system concepts such as memory management, process management, and I/O sub-systems will be covered. Other topics include language processors, system utilities, security issues, and performance management. The course provides students a hands-on experience of

programming at different levels such as high level, assembly, and machine code.

ACS-2906L (Lab) must be taken concurrently.
