CSC-450 Advanced Computer Architecture
Continued investigation of the principles and
theory behind the design of modern computing
systems with a quantitative emphasis on issues of
performance, efficiency, and reliability. Topics
may include: pipelining, instruction set design,
caches and memory hierarchy, superscalar
architectures, out-of-order and multithreaded
architectures, parallel computing, and
cloud-based computing.
Prerequisites: CSC-160, CSC-340, and CSC-350. The
prerequisite courses must be passed with minimum
grades of C.
