 ===== Description  =====
-CSE2021 is a unique course in that it bridges the gap between software (S/W) and hardware (H/W) and exposes the roles played by the operating system (O/S) and the digital logic (D/L) circuits. It relies on a hierarchy of abstractions to present the material in layers, switching roles from "using" to "implementing" at every stage. It follows the journey of instructions from high-level to assembly and machine code, through RAM and caches, to the the CPU's datapath and control. The lecture coverage is augmented by labs that provide hands-on experience in MIPS and Verilog.
+CSE2021 explores how a processor's hardware and software interact to accomplish a given computational task. Our description of the inner workings of a computer will use an hierarchy of abstractions.  We will follow the journey of instructions from high-level to assembly and machine code, through RAM and caches, to the logic circuits within the CPU core that make up the computer's datapath and control elements. Lecture material is supplemented with labs that provide hands-on experience in MIPS and Verilog.
