“Modern data-driven applications expose limitations of von Neumann architectures – extensive data movement, low throughput, and poor energy efficiency. Accelerators improve performance but lack ...

In the early days of computing, everything ran quite a bit slower than what we see today. This was not only because the computers' central processing units – CPUs – were slow, but also because ...

This course examines fundamental issues and design trade-offs in modern processor architectures. We will discuss some of the constraints that limit the design and programmability of modern processors, ...
