Computational hardware
Digital logic (CSE370)
- gates and flip-flops: glue logic, simple FSMs, registers
Programmable logic devices (CSE370, CSE467)
- two-level PLDs: FSMs, muxes, decoders
- field-programmable gate arrays: FSMs, basic data-paths
Microprocessors (CSE378)
- general-purpose computer
- instructions can implement complex control structures
- supports computations/manipulations of data in memory
