Upon introducing students to the basics of computer organization and architecture, the goal is to train students to program in assembler. As basis, x86-64 assembler will be used.

Students will be able to use computer resources efficiently. In particular, by writing pieces of program code in assembler, students will improve program performance.

Number systems. Elements of computer systems. Memory organization. Binary coding. Representation of numerical data. Representation of integer values. Representation of fractional values. Algebra of logic, logic functions and logic circuits. Minimization of logic functions. Combinatorial circuits. Flip-flop, sequential circuits. Processor architecture, virtual machines. x86-64 architecture. Assembler, x86-64 assembler. x86-64 procedure.

Active use of computers is assumed, the content of the subject is tracked through appropriate program simulations.
