José R. Arias, Daniel Fernando Garcia · 1998
The introduction of computer architecture in computer science studies has created a demand for a highly simplified architecture and graphical tools to illustrate its operation. This paper presents the approach followed at the University of Oviedo. The main concepts introduced to the students are relative to RISC instruction sets, data-path architecture, control steps within instructions and microinstructions.
