Course Objective The primary objective of the short term course is to provide an understanding of the architecture and design of multicore processors. It covers the advancements in computer architectures in detail starting from the simple scalar processors to the latest multicore superscalar processors and GPUs. As a case study, the microarchitecture of some of the latest processors will be discussed in detail. Finally, the course will explore the state of art research issues related to multi-core architectures. The course will provide a platform for faculty, teaching computer organization and architecture in various technical institutes in sharing the best practices for effective delivery of the subject. Pedagogy sessions arranged as part of the course will facilitate professional way of teaching computer architecture. The course will also provide a forum for long term association with MARS Research Lab, IIT Guwahati in terms of student internship, collaborative research and combined mentoring of student projects. The course coordinators will provide external mentorship to few such student projects based on request from participating members. Key Resource Persons
The course provides the participants with an appreciation of modern computer design and its relation to system architecture, compiler technology and operating system functionality. It is structured such that even faculty without much exposure to computer organization and architecture could explore and appreciate the recent advances in computer architecture. Special emphasis is given on design aspect of basic hardware components based on the measurement of performance and its dependency on parallelism, efficiency, latency and resource utilization. To facilitate this, tutorial sessions with numerical design problems are arranged every day to understand the concepts in depth. Special sessions are there devoted to the discussion of state of art research issues related to multi-core architectures. The course would like to bring faculty teaching the subject computer organization and architecture in various participating institutes under one umbrella and share the best practices in the delivering the subject in a more effective way.
