Purpose and description of the content of education:
Celem modułu jest zdobycie przez studentów wiedzy na temat ogólnych zasad i metod działania technologii cyfrowych. Priorytetem jest wyrobienie umiejętności rozumienia sposobów reprezentacji informacji w postaci cyfrowej oraz rozumienia podstawowych metod, środków i narzędzi ich pozyskiwania, gromadzenia, składowania i przetwarzania. Studenci poznają jak informacje cyfrowe są przechowywane w systemach komputerowych, jaka jest architektura takich systemów, poznają rolę i przeznaczenie elementów typowej architektury, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem roli i zasady działania procesora. Studenci poznają ogólną koncepcję i reprezentację programu na poziomie maszynowym oraz koncepcję i fazy cyklu rozkazowego procesora, poznają rolę sygnałów mikrosterujących, koncepcję przerwań, bezpośredniego dostępu do pamięci oraz ogólne zasady komunikacji z urządzeniami zewnętrznymi.
