Aims

The aim of the course is to familiarize students with computer technology, including its practical application and programming from the level microcontroller and applications utilizing the processing power of personal computers grafickcýh cards. Students will get acquainted with the structure of a personal computer, which is composed of components and their interconnectivity. Get an overview of used buses and data repositories. At the same time the student will be informed about the functioning of operating systems and computer networks. An integral part of the structure is the explanation and understanding of the concepts CPU processor and controller. At the same time the aim is to teach students how to convert from one number system and explain the methods of presentation of digital numbers. Explain how the program branch, generally form loops, conditions and computational algorithms and their applications in the programming language. Explain how it works processor interrupt system. Explain the difference between serial and parallel, synchronous and asynchronous communication, how it works on the most common communication buses. Inquire about the use of peripherals for analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion. UML outline possibilities for programming.
