is Understanding Hardware Needed for CSE Student
In this class, We discuss Understanding the Hardware Needed for CSE students.
The reader can take our complete series to understand how to study computer science. Click Here.
Is understanding hardware really required for CSE students?
The answer is yes.
1) What’s the level of understanding required for CSE students?
2) This basic hardware knowledge helps understand basic CSE subjects to the latest Technologies.
In our last classes, we discussed the first subject a CSE student starts studying is C Programming. Click Here to study C Programming.
After C Programming, one has to study data structures. Click Here to study data structures.
After the completion of data structures, the student will get a good understanding of coding.
From here, most of the students continue their effort toward coding.
The below diagram shows the complete visualization.
Students can move in different directions, as mentioned.
1) Web development
2) App Development
3) Algorithms
4) Competitive coding
Simply learning to code is not enough to understand the latest technologies.
1) Cloud Computing
2) IOT
3) Machine Learning (Click Here to learn machine learning)
4) Data Science
To understand the latest technologies, students should have a mathematics and other CSE basics.
The other CSE basics need some hardware understanding.
1) The level of hardware understanding needed for CSE Students
The below diagram shows the motherboard of a desktop.
We have processors and memory devices.
The processor will get the data from memory and input devices.
The processor is responsible for computations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, comparison, etc.
A CSE student should gain the below-mentioned knowledge
1) Design of simple processor
No need to understand complex processors.
The simple design of the processor is enough.
The student should understand how addition, subtraction, etc., are done in the processor.
2) How memory is organized to store data.
3) How all the devices are connected and share data.
The above hardware basics help in understanding the basic CSE subject operating system.
Operating systems are designed to take instructions from the user and respond to the user.
Operating systems are designed to effectively and efficiently use the processor.
Operating systems are designed to effectively and efficiently use memory to store data.
To understand the operating system, we need to understand hardware.
Almost all the applications are working on the cloud.
The applications are assigned multiple processors and shared memory organization in the cloud.
If the students do not have the basics of hardware, they will not be able to understand the cloud.
Similarly, IOTs use hardware devices and programming.
All machine learning and data science applications need GPUs to execute.
Students should have these basics to compete in these technologies.
Learning monkey is a platform which provides a deep understanding of the basics to advanced technologies.
Subjects students should study to acheive these basics are DLD and COA.
