Overview
This course is an advanced course in computer organization.
Our goal is to acquaint you with advanced concepts in computer
architecture. Building on introductory classes whiche showed how a
basic computer functions, we will cover how to make
computers more usable, and higher performance. For example, you will
learn how advanced features such as virtual memory are supported. In
addition, you will learn about a variety of techniques which increase
computer performance: pipelining, multiple issue, caches (memory
hierarchies), and high performance I/O. Finally, in the later portion
of the class, we will discuss a variety of parallel computer systems
and future directions of computer organizations.
Prerequisites: CS 231 and CS 232 or equivalent.
