Unit Description

The unit includes an introductory presentation of computer architecture using a low-level assembly programming language. The principles of low-level programming are taught up to, and including, the use of subroutines and parameter passing. COMP 583 is based on the undergraduate unit COMP 283 with additional load consisting of extra questions on assignments and examinations and candidates for COMP 583 will be expected to show a greater level of understanding of the unit material than that required for COMP 283.
