Advanced Computer Architecture

What it is about

You will gain an overview of modern processor and system architectures with a focus on parallelism, memory hierarchies, availability, and virtualization. You will learn to become familiar with different classes of parallel architectures (instruction-, data-, thread-, and process-level), assess their advantages and disadvantages, and evaluate the interaction between hardware and compiler techniques. In the end you will be able to analyze and evaluate architecture decisions for different applications.

What you will be able to do

Understand the architecture of current processors and entire IT systems
Differentiate and evaluate different classes of parallel architectures
Explain the interaction between architecture and compiler technology
Assess the advantages and disadvantages of design alternatives
