+
Course Rules
 How to conduct
 Prepare contents of the next session at home
 Following lessons in classrooms
 Completing chapter assessment in time and Quizzes (via LMS)

 Communication
 Class
 Interchange by FU-HCM LMS, Forum
 Discussing actively in your teams and in classrooms
 Free to question and answer

 Others

 Off phone/ No game, no chat in class

 Use laptops under teacher’s instruction
+
Evaluation Strategy
 Must attend more than 80% of contact hours
(if not, not allow to take exam).
 Evaluating
 Exercises (E) 30 %
 2 Assignment (A) 30% ( Assembly programs)
 Final Exam (FE) 40 %
 Total score=30%(E)+30%(A)+40% (FE)
 Pass: All on-going assessment > 0 and Total score ≥ 5
and Final Examination ≥ 4 (of 10)
 Retake only the Final Exam when not passed
+
How to study?

This course is complex knowledge (however, it’s attractive and
exciting), so you need to keep tight grip on it
 Read
 On the books to get the general concept
 Reference, study, collection from anywhere else (internet, your classmate,
forum …)
 Attend lectures
 Listens, understand, then make your own notes
 Give your explanation about some topic in lectures
 Ask questions
 Practice all the exercises, demo to make your sense
 After classes
 Discuss your classmate in directly, on forum
 Do the lab, assignments to submit via LMS, and do more exercises
 Build your teams in yourselves to support together in studying
+
Academic Policy
 Cheating, plagiarism and breach of copyright are
serious offenses under this Policy.
 Cheating
 Cheating during a test or exam is construed as talking, peeking at
another student’s paper or any other clandestine method of transmitting
information.
 Plagiarism
 Plagiarism is using the work of others without citing it; that is, holding
the work of others out as your own work.
 Breach of Copyright
 If you photocopy a textbook without the copyright holder's permission,
you violate copyright law.
+
Enjoy the Course

 Be enthusiastic about the material because it is

interesting, useful and an important part of your
training as an IT engineer.
 We will do our best but we need your help.
 So let’s all have fun together with COA!!!

+ Organization and Architecture …
IBM System/370 Architecture
 IBM System/370 architecture
 Was introduced in 1970
 Included a number of models
 Could upgrade to a more expensive, faster model without
having to abandon (chối bỏ) original software
 New models are introduced with improved technology, but
retain the same architecture so that the customer’s software
investment is protected
 Architecture has survived to this day as the architecture of
IBM’s mainframe product line
+
1.2- Structure and Function
 Hierarchical system  Structure
 Set of interrelated  The way in which
subsystems components relate to
each other
 Hierarchical nature of
complex systems is  Function
essential to both their  The operation of
design and their description individual components as
part of the structure
 Designer need only deal
with a particular level of the
system at a time
 Concerned with structure
and function at each level

Functions

 A computer can perform

four basic functions:

● Data processing
● Data storage
● Data movement
● Control

The
Computer
Structure
+
CPU – controls the
operation of the computer
There are four and performs its data
main structural processing functions
components
of the computer:  Main Memory – stores data
 I/O – moves data between
the computer and its
external environment
 System Interconnection –
some mechanism that
provides for communication
among CPU, main memory,
and I/O
+  Control Unit
CPU  Controls the operation of the CPU
and hence the computer
Major structural  Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU)
components:  Performs the computer’s data
processing function

 Registers
 Provide storage internal to the
CPU

 CPU Interconnection
 Some mechanism that provides
for communication among the
control unit, ALU, and registers
