    COURSE DESCRIPTION
    We discuss how computers operate at fairly low level of abstraction and then discuss how computer systems build as layers and layers of
    abstraction. Our focus will be to introduce computer systems from the perspective of a programmer, rather from the more traditional perspective
    of a system implementer.

    After taking this course, you will know the components of a computer and how do they fit together. How computers do arithmetic and how does
    the code you write actually execute? How does a program in a high level language like C get translated into a form the machine can execute? How
    can you write code likely to execute efficiently? How is information stored and accessed? How does your program access existing "libraries"?

    Grading Breakup and Policy

    Attendance: 10% (Excluding first two classes and both exams, 10 marks for attending all 24 classes, 8 for 23, 6 for 22, 4 for 21, 2 for 20, and 0 for
    attending less than 20 classes. Coming after 5 minutes of class start or leaving before the end of the class counts as absence. For genuine reasons,
    you may check with me before missing a class, but in most cases, I’ll refer you to OSA for verification.)
    Assignments: 20% (Tentatively 7 assignments of 4 marks each but maximum marks in assignments category cannot be more than 20. Thus, you
    can get full assignment marks by finishing 5 assignments perfectly or by doing a good part of all 7 assignments. Getting perfect score is hard so do
    not skip assignments. Plagiarism cases are forwarded to DC without warning. Late submissions even by a second are not accepted.)
