Abstract
A seminar that surveys state-of-the-art microprocessors offers an excellent forum for students to see how computer architecture techniques are employed in practice and for them to gain a detailed knowledge of the state of the art in microprocessor design. Princeton and the University of Virginia have developed such a seminar, organized around student presentations and a substantial research project. The course can accommodate a range of students, from advanced undergraduates to senior graduate students. The course can also be easily adapted to a survey of embedded processors. This paper describes the version taught at the University of Virginia and lessons learned from the experience.
