This an introduction to concepts in computer architecture beyond those typically taught in an undergraduate course. The course will include a brief review of undergraduate topics, such as basic pipelining and memory hierarchies. It will also cover more advanced techniques for memory hierarchies, out-of-order and multiple issue processors, multicore processors, vector processors and GPUS, and some miscellaneous hot topics in computer architecture.
The course will include a mix of research paper readings, programming assigments, and an examination.
