Course Description

B443/543 Computer Architecture is a survey of the basic principles and techniques used in current computer architectures. Topics include logic, arithmetic, microprogrammed control, instruction set design, the memory hierarchy, and quantitative analytic methods. The course focuses on reduced instructions set computer architectures (RISCs) and introduces both instruction-level parallelism (internal to the CPU) and distributed and networked parallelism (external to the CPU), although the emphasis and specifics may vary.
