Software and hardware architecture for computer systems

Objectifs

At the end of this module, the student will have understood and be able to explain (main concepts):

- Manipulation of with various type automata, language theory, parsers, compilers;

- Internals of a compiler, management and allocation of memory of a program;

- Specification of hardware components and architectures in a high-level language;

- Taking Into account the specific material constraints for embedded systems with limited resources.

The student will be able to:

- Create parsers from the specification of data files, create compilers while considering constraints from the environment (embedded or not). Propose an approach to generate code while parsing a file.
- Understand and control processor architectures: pipeline, branch hazards, branch prediction unit, DMA, MMU (paging and segmentation), data hazards, multi-core

- To select a processor architecture adapted to the software application and environment.
- Specify a hardware system in a concurrent language used widely in industry, VHDL and implement this system in an FPGA.
