15-213/15-513/18-213 Introduction to Computer Systems
| Summer 2012 |
| Lecture 1: Gregory Kesden, TWR 1:30-2:50, GHC 4307 |
| 12 units (3 units for 513) |
This course provides a programmer's view of how computer systems
execute programs, store information, and communicate. It enables
students to become more effective programmers, especially in dealing
with issues of performance, portability and robustness. It also serves
as a foundation for courses on compilers, networks, operating systems,
and computer architecture, where a deeper understanding of systems-level
issues is required. Topics covered include: machine-level code and its
generation by optimizing compilers, performance evaluation and
optimization, computer arithmetic, memory organization and management,
networking technology and protocols, and supporting concurrent
computation.
Syllabus (pdf) (includes rules on cheating, late assignments etc.)
