This single semester course introduces students to the following:
-Basics of digital technology,
-Main computer building blocks according to von Neumann Architecture
-Way how main computer components are built from combinational and sequential logical devices
-Influence of computer hardware architecture on the performance.
-Hardware/Software interface
-How to applicate acquired knowledge in business praxis.

1. Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of course content by defining and describing basic topics in computer architecture
2. Present working principles of digital computers and how are they constructed from basic logic gates.
3. Classify basic building blocks of modern computers according to von Neuman's model and analyze their role
4. Evaluate and recommend computer components: processor, memory, bus organization, input-output and storage units, which serve best for specified tasks
5. Judge role of operating system in computer functioning, establish conditions for its installation
6. Identify and argument potential causes of lack of performance or deadlock in computer functioning.
7. Critically asses influence of processor type and frequency, ISA, memory subsystem (complete hierarchy) on configurations performance for specific task.
