Grade Requirement
• 60% Lecture
• 2 Long Exams (80%)
• Quizzes, HW, Recitation, etc (20%)
• 40% Laboratory
• 4-7 Lab Exercises (40%)
• 2 Machine Problems (60%)

• UP grading scale, with a passing of 60% will be used

1st Sem 2018-2019 8

Class Policies (1/2)
• You must pass both lab and lec to pass the course.
• In case of absence, the student is required to
submit an excuse slip (duly noted by the college) at
most 1 week after resuming from absence
• A comprehensive exam will be given to those with
excused missed exam. A student is allowed to miss
only one exam. The second missed exam will
automatically be zero.

1st Sem 2018-2019 9

Class Policies (2/2)
• Once the exams have been returned, students have
one week to complain and have their exams
rechecked. After which, all scores will be
considered final.
• Announcements, lecture notes, etc. will be posted
through UVLE.

Computer Architecture and
Organization
• Computer Architecture refers to those attributes of
a system visible to a programmer
• e.g. Instruction set, data bit widths, I/O mechanisms,
addressing modes

• Computer Organization is how features are

implemented (transparent to the programmer)
• Control signals, interfaces between the computer and its
peripherals, memory technology used

1st Sem 2018-2019 12

Computer Architecture and
Organization
• Architecture decision: is there a multiply
instruction?

• Organization decision: how will the multiple

operation be supported/implemented in hardware?
(i.e., dedicated multiply or repeated addition?)
