Computer Architecture is one of the few fundamental subjects that a computer scientist must master. It describes how a computer system should be designed, from the user’s and the system view. It differs from the undergraduate course Computer Organization in that, this course tells you not only how current computers are designed, but also the future directions in accordance with technological changes, plus many design techniques in depth.

教學要點概述

There will be two examinations, and one student group term project, all weighted roughly 1/3 of the term grade; homework assignments are possible. To be discussed with the enrolled students and determined. Approximately 2/3 of the hours will be used for lecturing, and the other 1/3 for examinations and term project presentations. Research, presentation and team work skills are very important to university students especially at their graduate level. While many courses don’t offer students the opportunity to sharpen their skills in this aspect. In this course, we provide such an opportunity so that students can practice their research, presentation and team work skills, as well as enhance their capabilities in learning from peers.
