Description
Topics include: pipeline systems design, processor design techniques (concepts,
analysis, performance comparison, implementation, commercial processors),
memory system design, and interconnection media.
Objectives

To understand concepts
of parallel processing and design choices of implementing parallel execution
within a single processor (pipeline, VLIW, and superscalar) and multiprocessor
systems.
·
To gain knowledge of
the state of the art research topics on advanced computing systems.
