  3. Course goals • Learn advanced computer architecture concepts like: • ILP and Multi-issue architectures • O-O-O • Correlating branch prediction; Value prediction • Advanced memory hierarchy speedup methods • etc. • Learn multi-processor architecture concepts like: • Multi-threading • Topologies • Synchronization • Coherence and Consistency • etc.

  4. Also • Study recent articles • Perform two lab assignments on Computer Architecture • Simple Scalar processor assignment • Multi-processor assignment

  5. Organization • Credits: • 5MD00: 3 credit points (ECTS) • 5Z033: 4 credit points • Weekly class meetings, this quarter in Pt 2.19 • Monday: 13.45 – 15.30 (roughly every other week) • Thursday: 10.45 – 12.30 • Labs: in your own time • Student literature research of TOP recent conferences • last week • Oral Examination in January 2011

  6. Material • Book: • Computer Architecture, A quantitative approach, 4rd edition, byHennessy and Patterson, • Handouts and slides; see course web site: www.ics.ele.tue.nl/~heco/courses/ACA
