Welcome to the course in Computer Hardware Engineering (IS1200)!

The first lecture is given on January 18, 8-10. The location of all lectures will be virtual and on Zoom using the following room: https://kth-se.zoom.us/j/68107170019

Note: Make sure you are accessing Canvas through the new URL canvas.kth.se, and not kth.instructure.com. If you use the latter, some of the navigation items in the course menu will not work.

Spring 2021 edition

In this course, you will learn how a computer system is constructed. After you have finished the course, you will have a fundamental understanding of how a processor is constructed, how a computer executes machine code, and how memory hierarchies affect execution time. You will also learn the basic principles of parallel computation. At the laboratory exercises, you will write assembly and C code, see how programs are executed on an embedded hardware platform, and construct a functional single-cycle processor in a simulation environment. Finally, in groups of two students, you will construct a mini-project on a real embedded platform.

The schedule for the complete course can be found here (Links to an external site.).
