What it is about

You will learn the inner structure and the functionality of microprocessors: from historical developments over RISC/CISC designs, pipelining, caches and multi-core aspects to SIMD/Vector extensions and trends. By the end you will be able to analyze different processor architectures, optimize low-level programs and assess the role of processors in high-performance systems.

What you will be able to do

  • Understand and analyze the architecture of a microprocessor
  • Describe developments and features across processor generations
  • Place current microprocessor architectures and possible future trends in context
  • Apply techniques for programming and optimization at the assembler level
  • Understand the role of microprocessors in high-performance computing
