Aims

Intruction to architecture and structure of computer systems for non computer scientists.
Computer architecture is the way the computer system looks like for users (persons or programs).
Computer structure is the way architecture is implemented.

Main themes

(1) Basis concepts:
* computer architecture and structure,
* Layer analysis of architecture,
* virtual machine,
* process,
* virtual communication

(2) Conventional machine layer:
* generalities,
* components (memory, disks, ...),
* classic architectures (IBM 370, PDP11),
* addressing, operations (instructions, traps, interruptions).

(3) microprogramming layer:
* data path,
* control unit,
* caches

(4) Operating system and basic softwares:
* specific hardware for the operating system (supervisor mode, dynamic address translation),
* functions of the operating system (ressource management, multiprogramming, process communication),
* user interfaces,
* spoolers et servers,
* databases,
* distributed systems.
