Last listed
1974–75

No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1974–75 to 1974–75 (before that, 1973–74 used the number for (b) Computer System * Organization and Logic Design Note); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.

Switching devices. Binary codes and arithmetic. Boolean algebra and its application to switching circuits. Canonical forms for Boolean functions. Simplification of switching functions. Analysis of sequential circuits. Synchronous and asynchronous operation. Design of sequential circuits. 3 hours lectures, one term Offered in the Fall, Winter and Spring terms Prerequisite: M132. Recommended Corequisite: M319 or M329

    Another title: (b) Computer System * Organization and Logic Design Note, probably a different course under the same number (or a misread scan).

    Part 1) Logic Design: Brief review of basic switching theory; number systems; logic circuits; storage elements, standard computer subsystems; overall logical design of a conventional processor; automated design of processors-computer compilers.

    Part 2) System Organization: Definition of total system requirements for batch processing, time-sharing, real-time processing and other applications; hardware-software tradeoffs and-the impact of large-scale integration; unorthodox. hardware organizations; evaluation of solutions. Some attention will be paid to design for reliability and fault diagnosis as additional system requirements. 3 hours lectures, one term. Offered in the Fall and Winter terms. Prerequisite: M371 (a) Recommended Corequisite: M319 or M329.

    This course will be offered as M471 (b) during the Winter term, 1974 for Co-op students registered in fourth year only. Credit will not be given for both M371 (b) and M471 (b).
