Περίληψη | In this paper we present an integrated approach for teaching
undergraduates Computer Architecture. Our approach
consists of five steps: “read”, which corresponds
to studying the textbook theory, “use”, which corresponds
to using a simulator with appropriate graphical
features to visualise the application of the theory, “simulate”,
which corresponds to developing an architectural
simulation, “experiment”, which corresponds to modifying
the architectural simulation and observing the impact
that changes make to performance, and finally “build”,
which corresponds to developing a low-level hardware
model in a standard Hardware Description Language. In
our experience, going down to the gate-level is of great
importance, as students often find difficult to visualise
how different architectural approaches affect the actual
hardware (both datapath and control). By following this
five-step approach in our teaching we observed a signifi-
cant increase in both student performance and interest in
