Advanced Computer Systems & Architecture

Enrollment Requirements: Graduate Prerequisite: Graduate Standing This class is designed to enable students to follow the latest developments in computer systems and architecture. The lectures cover a broad array of recent subjects, such as memory management in multi-core systems, hardware multi- threading, heterogenous systems, modern operating systems, large-scale system architectures, virtualization, data center management, energy awareness in computing systems, system reliability, and emerging areas, such as quantum computing, and neuromorphic computing. The concepts are reinforced with research paper readings and hands-on assignments that involve computer system design and analysis.
