Annotation


The discipline is devoted to the structural organization and functioning of modern computer systems. Types of data and the standards for their presentation are considered. Algorithms of arithmetic with fixed and floating point numbers are studied. Based on the principles of organization and implementation of the computer, the logical structure and functioning of its main devices and systems are considered. The attitude of individual structural elements and primary algorithms to various programmatic problems is elucidated.
