The goal Fundamentals of assembly programming of modern processor architectures. Getting to know the features and how to design different system tools, such as macro processors, assemblers, emulators, virtual machines,linkers and loaders.
The outcome Enabling students to understand the function and structure of various system utilities, such as macro processors, assemblers, emulators, virtual machines, linkers and loaders. Students should be able to design and implement such tools or adapt existing ones. Students learn about the basics of assembly language programming.
