Spring 2002 Semester, All Sections

Announcements and Record of Updates:

16 Apr 2002: Posted slides on Modes of Addressing.
02 Apr 2002, 0748 hrs: Posted an updated file with the Linux assignments. Please access this file from the Course Map.
25 Mar 2002: Some folks have encountered difficulties in completing the deliverable for Computer Organization and Architecture assignment 5, whose due date is today. I would like to bring to your attention that there is a tutorial posted below in a URL on this page, entitled, “Tutorial on Status Flags, and on the Emulation of Different Arithmetic Representations using Two’s-Complement Hardware”. This tutorial has been posted all semester long, ever since the first day of class. It contains specific instructions as well as examples of code dealing with a problem very similar to the one given in your assignment. Please have a look at that tutorial. I believe it will answer most, if not all, of your questions related to today’s deliverable.
14 Mar 2002: Posted the Grade Distribution for the mid-term exam for Dr. Abzug’s two sections.
13 Mar 2002: Material pertaining to the Term Project has been up on the web site ever since the beginning of the semester, but due to an oversight on my part the links to make that information accessible were not put in. That omission is now corrected via the following links: Topics-for-Term-Papers, also Term-Project-option-for-Arithmetic-Instructions-Programming, also Term-Project-option-for-INFOSEC-Programming, and finally Term-Project. Please examine these documents, and bring your questions to the next class.

Please see revised Course Map.
