Computer Architecture
A computer scientist/engineer or anyone who uses programming in their jobs must have a good understanding of the underlying hardware and its relation with the software running on it. Understanding the inner-workings of a modern microprocessor, its functions and connection between hardware and software is the key to develop programs that are optimized for performance, cost and energy/environment. The course focuses on high performance architecture and memory systems and also multiprocessors and parallel computing hardware. It serves both as an advanced course for more advanced study and as a broad overview of the field of computer architecture.
