CSE 564 Computer Architecture
(4 credits)
Description:
The course explores current trends and future directions in processor micro-architecture as well as various hardware and software techniques in high-performance computing. A review of pipeline and memory hierarchies is followed by advanced topics including branch prediction, dynamic scheduling, superscalar techniques, speculative execution, prefetching, high-speed I/O, VLIW, multi-threaded processors, and application-specific processors such as those for embedded and multimedia systems. This course is cross listed with an undergraduate course. Credit cannot be received for both CSE 564 and CSE 464.
