Building a computer

This is the implementation of a computer starting from NAND gates as part of the nand2tetris course.

Hardware hierarchy

• Project 1: Boolean Logic (logic gates, mux, demux etc.)
• Project 2: Boolean Arithmetic (ALU, Adders etc.)
• Project 3: Sequential Logic (Registers, counters etc.)
• Project 4: Machine Language (Assembly language)
• Project 5: Computer Architecture (CPU, Memory)
• Project 6: Assembler (Assembly to machine code (binary))

Software hierarchy

• Project 7: Virtual Machine implementation (Stack Arithmetic translator)
• Project 8: Virtual Machine implementation (Full VM translator)
  • Translator 1: Implementation without command comments
  • Translator 2: Implementation with command comments (useful for debugging)
