<br>To understand how a computer system works. Emphasis will be placed on
<br>1. What characterizes the performance of a computer
<br>2. Instruction set design 
<br>3. Basic building blocks: I/O, Memory, Datapath, Control
<br>4. Pipelined datapath
<br>5. Memory hierarchy
<br>
<br>
<br>

<br>
<br>本課程教學方式，與傳統以老師講授為主的方式不同。
<br>
<br>本課程將採取翻轉式教學:
<br>Before class:
<br>1、學生將透過網路，預先觀看教學投影片錄影。
<br>In class:
<br>2、第一節，課程內容提示。
<br>教師提示本週課程重點並抽點同學回答問題，以了解同學理解狀況。
<br>同學對觀看投影片不瞭解部分，提出問題。老師回答全體同學。
<br>3、第二節，小組討論及小組解題。
<br>透過個別互動，小組成員互相協助了解課程內容及解題。
<br>助教及教師回答個別小組及同學的個別問題。
<br>4、第三節，小組對抗賽。
<br>老師抽點小組成員上台講解、回答(group performance) 第二節所完成的小組解題。
<br>After class:
<br>5、繳交解題答案。
<br>
<br> 五、教學進度(Syllabus)
<br>
<br>Course outlines
<br>1: Computer abstractions and technology
<br>2: The role of performance
<br>3: Instructions: language of the machine
<br>4: Arithmetic for computers
<br>5: The processor: datapath and control
<br>6: Enhancing performance with pipelining
<br>7: Large and fast: exploiting memory hierarchy
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br> 六、成績考核(Evaluation)
<br>
<br>In-class performance (group performance 及小測驗） 28%
<br>作業及期末project 12%
<br>期中考 30%
<br>期末考 30%
<br>
<br>何謂group performance:
<br>
<br>1. Forming study groups. Each group has around 5-6 students.
<br>  a. For members in the same group, their group performance will be the 
<br>same.
<br>  b. Advanced learner will help less advanced learner!
<br>
<br>2. Group performance:
<br>  a. One member in each group will be randomly selected to answer teacher’s 
<br>question 
<br>  b. Students answer the question on the blackboard
