A central goal of high-level programming languages, such as those we use to teach introductory computer science courses, is to provide an abstraction that hides the complexity and idiosyncrasies of computer hardware. Although programming languages are effective at achieving this goal, certain properties of computer hardware cannot be hidden, or are useful for students to know about. As a consequence, many of the greatest conceptual challenges for beginning programmers arise from a lack of understanding of the basic properties of the hardware upon which computer programs execute. To address this problem, we have developed a simple virtual machine called ANT for use in our introductory computer science (CS1) curriculum. ANT is designed to be simple enough that a CS1 student can quickly understand it, while at the same time providing an accurate model of many important properties of computer hardware. After two years of experience with ANT in our CS1 course, we believe it is a valuable tool for helping young students understand how programs and data are represented in a computer system.

The paper presents an educational environment for teaching a course in Computer architecture and organization. It is made up of an educational computer system, a reference manual, a software package and a set of laboratory experiments. The educational computer system is devised in such a way that it covers the basic structure of a computer system: processor, memory, input/output subsystem and bus. The reference manual provides all implementation details with the appropriate circuits drawings and detailed descriptions. For the devised educational computer system a software package is developed which includes the program development tools and the graphic simulator. They make it possible to develop programs for it and execute them under the graphic simulator. The simulator allows to execute programs at the clock, instruction and program levels and to examine, at any time, the values of all signals of the educational computer system down to the register transfer level. In the paper is also given a set of laboratory experiments that the students must carry out successfully using the reference manual and the software package as a prerequisite for taking an exam in Computer architecture and organization.
