Explore the fundamentals of computation structures with MIT's 6.004 course, covering digital system architecture, hardware-software integration, and contemporary software structures.
Introduces architecture of digital systems, emphasizing structural principles common to a wide range of technologies. Multilevel implementation strategies; definition of new primitives (e.g., gates, instructions, procedures, processes) and their mechanization using lower-level elements. Analysis of potential concurrency; precedence constraints and performance measures; pipelined and multidimensional systems. Instruction set design issues; architectural support for contemporary software structures.
This course is an excellent introduction to the fundamentals of computation structures, suitable for students interested in computer architecture, digital systems design, and the intersection of hardware and software.
