Combined Units COMP483 - Computer Architecture and Assembler
Coordinator(s) Patrick Lenders (plenders@une.edu.au)
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. COMP483 is based on the undergraduate unit COMP283 with additional load consisting of extra questions on assignments and examinations and candidates for COMP483 will be expected to show a greater level of understanding of the unit material than that required for COMP283. Students who complete COMP283 are not permitted to enrol for COMP483.
