<p>CSCI 21/001 Computer Organization and Assembly Language Programming Spring 2018 Lecture MW 6:30-7:45, Lab 7:55-9:05, room 1812 Instructor: Keith Mehl Office: 2019 E-mail: [email protected] (510) 723-7493 Web Site: http://www.chabotcollege.edu/faculty/kmehl/ Office Hours: Per the schedule on my Web site, in room 2019. I also see students by chance or appointment. </p><p>Course Description: Basics of machine architecture, machine language, assembly language, operating system and higher- level language interface. Data representation, instruction representation and execution, addressing techniques and use of macros. Space and time efficiency issues. Input/output including number conversion and use of system interrupts. Interrupt processing and interrupt handlers. Procedures including parameter passing and linkage to higher level languages. Prerequisite: Computer Science 14 (completed with a grade of C or higher).</p><p>When emailing me, PLEASE use PLAIN TEXT emails (no graphics, HTML or special fonts). Your subject line will be (in this order) CS21 (exactly CS21, not CSCI-21, etc.), then your name, then (briefly!) why you are emailing me. Attach any files you want to discuss (do not put code into the email body) as plain text files. A ssembler .asm source files are plain text files. Do not zip attached files or send me Google doc links.</p><p>Text: MIPS Assembly Language Programming, Robert L. Britton, Pearson Prentice hall, ISBN 0-13- 142044-5. This is available free as a PDF via a link on my Web site. If you want to use other books on 32-bit MIPS programming and computer organization; that is O.K provided you clear them with me first. We will supplement the text with other resources.</p><p>Grading policy: Programming assignments/homework - 20% Labs - 10% Short (pop) quizzes - 10% (graded at a discount) 2 midterm exams (probably weeks 7 and 12) - 15% each The final exam (must be taken as scheduled to pass the course) - 30%</p><p>THERE WILL BE NO MAKEUP QUIZZES OR EXAMS. If you cannot make an exam, you MUST contact me BEFORE the exam. </p><p>You must turn in at least 15 points worth of homework, including the final project essentially working, to pass the course with a C or better.</p><p>I will discount the pop quizzes for full credit. Grade ranges will be as follows: 90%-up - A, 80%- 89.9% - B, 65%-79.9% - C, 55%-64.9% - D, less than 55% - F. I may adjust these ranges depending on the overall performance of the class. I will drop people for excessive absences (missing more than two quizzes is excessive), so be here every time. If you find you cannot make class, or are often late, DROP.</p><p>Late work is penalized 20% off per calendar day. After five days, you get a grade of "late". After ten days, no I give consideration for the work at all. I accept no work after the last class day before the start of final exam week, with the possible exception of the interrupt project which I might accept for late credit before the start of the final exam.</p><p>Work in groups of two on labs. If there are an odd number of students, I may make a group of three. All other work must be your own. Copying programs will result in severe consequences, possibly including a grade of F in the course.</p><p>Turn off your cell phone and put it where you cannot get to it. If you are using your phone in class, or surfing the Web or playing games, I will ask you to leave the class and come back the next class session.</p><p>For use of the college only (this assessment is after-the-fact, and does not affect your grade) the college assesses course-level learning outcomes for students. For CSCI-21, these are as follows:</p><p>1: Define the term interrupt 2: Define the term interrupt handler and discuss how interrupts happen and how they are handled. 3: Demonstrate familiarity with the function of CPU registers 4: Design and write a simple interrupt handler</p>
