FEL: B4M35PAP Advanced Computer Architectures
The subject extends students' knowledge about modern computer architectures. Particular attention is paid to the issue of parallelism, the implementation of parallelism in hardware, the utilization of parallel programming techniques, the architectures of contemporary computers using parallelism at the level of instructions and threads, the advanced stream processing of instructions, the memory and peripheral subsystem and their design. Emphasis is placed on understanding the hardware-software mutual dependencies, understanding the general principles of executing instructions within the superscalar processor and designing software efficiently using available hardware resources.
