Course Description


Computer architecture focuses on techniques to design high-performance processors and is a prerequisite for both design and verification engineers, in any modern processor design project. This course covers computer architecture essentials, as well as some advanced topics, such as multi-threading, data level parallelism in GPUs and multi-core processors. Through a lecture-based approach, supplemented with practical problem sets, you'll navigate the intricacies of Verilog coding, timing graph walkthrough, and micro-architecture solutions. This course is intended for design and verification engineers interested in working on processor or complex digital system design projects.
