Course Goal / Objective
Multiprocessors are a core component in all types of computing infrastructure, from phones to data centers. This course will cover processor design and concurrency prerequisites to introduce the core technologies needed to consolidate multiple compute elements into a single computer.
Course Content
Different types of multiprocessors with a focus on cache coherence, consistency, interconnect, message passing, memory hierarchy, support needed at the core level, heterogeneous architectures
Course Precondition
Basic knowledge of processors
