COURSE OBJECTIVES

This course introduces students with the internal architecture, Assembly Language programming concepts and I/O interfaces of 8086 & 8088 microprocessors. Students will develop comprehensive understanding of the Intel x86 software programming model and instruction set. Course will focus on Intel x86 assembly programming techniques. Students will also learn 8086/8088 modes of operations, interfacing of memory and I/O devices, pipe lining and Cache memory hierarchy.

COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLO)

CLO:1. Illustrate basics of computer architecture and I/O devices interfacing with emphasis on 8086/8088 processor architecture (Level: C2)

CLO:2. Write assembly programs in 8086/8088 Assembly Language and develop problem solutions in low-level programming (Level: C5)

CLO:3. Demonstrate concepts related to computer memory hierarchy, cache organization, pipelining and direct memory access (DMA) (Level: C3)
