The course will focus on the basic and essential components of computing systems. From their memory and storage, through instruction-level parallelism, up to multi-processing and multi-threading. It will provide the students with a knowledge of the "big picture" of computer systems, their capabilities and limitations, together with design practice based on tradeoffs and constraints.
The outcome of this course is in an understanding and acquisition for the basic and essential components of computing systems.
MIPS, Instruction Set Architecture, Operating System, Memory, Pipelining, Speculation, Multi-threading, Multi Processors
