History of computer and data expression methods will be mentioned. Also computer architecture, and functions of calculation
and control will be explained from the viewpoints of both hardware and software. Especially, input and output devices which
are significantly important for the users will be focused on and how to quantitatively evaluate the performance and reliability
will be mentioned. This class is strongly connected with "Information Processing 2", and thus both classes should be taken
for better comprehension.
The purpose of this class can be divided into two. One is to comprehend the concept of computers and how they process information.
The other is to acquire basic structure of computer systems, data expression methods, and performance evaluation methods.
- To comprehend the terminologies of information processing
- To comprehend the basic structure of computers and to acquire how to process information
- To comprehend the information processing system, evaluation methods of the performance and reliability
