Course Abstract
This course examines the basic principles and techniques used in the design and evaluation of computer architecture and systems. The course stresses the principal design concepts which are embodied in modern computer architectures, and emphasizes ideas which we believe will continue to apply into the future, in spite of a rapidly changing technological environment. The primary objective of the course is to show how the design and evaluation of architectural features, based on both qualitative and quantitative studies, can be used to achieve balanced, efficient systems, well-matched to the class of problems they overcome.
Modern computer architecture and system design involve both intensive software and hardware design activities. As a core design course in computer engineering, the students will be exposed to both software tools ands methodology for computer architecture design (e.g. software simulation toolset) as well as hardwaare design tools and methodology on digital systems. Students are expected to learn modern design tools and related skills through lab assignments and course projects.
Prerequisites
A basic knowledge of high-level programming languages and computer architecture (e.g. CPEG-323 or equivalent) and digital logic circuits (e.g. CPEG210, CPEG211) is helpful.
Graduate Student Registration
Graduate students who are interested in the subject are encouraged to see the instructor for permission of registration.
