Computer Architecture Course Repository

These are open educational resources (OER). The repository is used for Computer Architecture Course.

Using the Content

Content is located in the chapters/ folder.

Each chapter has its own folder.

Lecture content is expected to be presented and followed. Practice content is expected to be used hands-on individually or as part of team.

Running Locally

When testing locally, you will have to build the container that will run the builder based on the Dockerfile. For this, the simplest way is the use the Makefile. First, edit the Makefile and update the REPO_NAME variable to the preferred name of your future website.

To generate the web contents locally, run:

make

To view the local contents, start a web server by running the command:

make serve

As the output of the command tells, point your browser to http://localhost:8080/$REPO_NAME, where $REPO_NAME is the name of the repository you configured in the Makefile..

Chapter Contents

Lecture

Slides are written in GitHub Markdown and use reveal-md and reveal.js to render HTML output. Building slides requires MarkdownPP. Lecture slides are built from the slides.mdpp file using the make command (and the Makefile). slides.mdpp is a wrapper / index file; actual content is stored in Markdown format in files in the slides/ subfolder. Output is generated in the _site/ subfolder; open the _site/index.html in a browser to view the slides.

Demos are snippets of code and support files that showcase concepts and ideas related to the lecture. Demos are located in the demo/ subfolder. Each demo has its own folder with source code, Makefile or other build files (if required) and support files.

Media files are images and films used in slides for visual support. Media files are located in the media/ subfolder.

Quizzes are used in slides to trigger interactivity with participants and as a form of (self-)assessment. Quizzes are located in the quiz/ subfolder. Quiz questions are stored in Markdown format, one file per quiz.

Practice

Practice content consists of background text, media files, support files and quizzes in the practice/ subfolder of each chapter.

Background text is located in chapters/ folder as a series of sections. Each section consists of general information, tutorial information followed by description of actual work items and a quiz. Sections are indexed in the README.md file.

Support files for work items are stored in the support/ subfolder. There is a subfolder for each section. Each section subfolder contains source code, Makefile (or other build files, if required) and support files.

Media files are images and films used in text for visual support. Media files are located in the media/ subfolder.

Quizzes are referenced at the end of each section as a form of (self-)assessment. Quizzes are located in the quiz/ subfolder. Quiz questions are stored in Markdown format, one file per quiz.
