CSE 410 is an undergraduate course on computer systems, spanning from processor organization through the operating system. Assignments will be a combination of reading, paper and pencil, and software implementation. We will use, but not master, RISC-V assembler, C, and possibly Python, as well as associated Linux tools. While programming experience is required, no experience with these languages is necessary.
