Principles

CPU, registers and memory; stored programs and the instruction cycle; I/O, buses, DMA and communication.

Application & programming

Decode and trace VizMachine instructions; distinguish values from addresses; examine branches, byte copying and bit masks.

Weekly PPTX, code and recordings: in preparation.

Learning focus

Trace a short instruction sequence and distinguish register values, addresses and memory contents. Recognize the roles of CPU, memory and I/O; Lab 1 remains terminal and number practice.

D: do independently · M: explain and modify a worked example · R: recognize, trace and compare.

Revisit: Gate output and positional binary.

Wednesday 30 Sep · Recitation

More signed-number examples and a short trace; terminal setup help.
