Advanced Computer Architecture-II

CS704 - Advanced Computer Architecture-II

--------------------------------------------

This is a graduate level course. It builds on the concepts presented in the undergraduate computer architecture course. The emphasis is given to expose advances in the field through cost-performance-power trade-offs and good engineering design of computers. The course introduces the quantitative principles of computer design, performance enhancement methodologies, static and dynamic exploitation of instruction level parallelism in high-performance processors and performance enhancement of memory and input/output systems.

Learning Outcomes

-------------------

Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to:

* Understand the quantitative principles of computer design and metrics for performance measurement.

* Familiarize the benchmark to analyze the performance of different architectures.

* Exploit instruction level parallelism using static and dynamic techniques in high-performance processors including superscalar execution.

* Recognize the centralized and distributed share-memory multiprocessor architectures.

* Design memory hierarchy and storage systems with optimum performance.

* Be acquainted to input/output systems design and their performance benchmarks.

Note: This application doesn't require any credentials to use and neither it ask for any username/password. Its a free application that provides a support for students to access their lectures, slides and handouts without the need to login to the VLMS every time. This is a non-profit app and will always be. Thats why its FREE!!!
