Advanced Computer Architecture

(Parallel processing & State of the Art Systems)

 

CSC521: Description, Objective, Text, Slide Download

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.
