comp5201-f25 -- Computer Organization and Design
About comp5201-f25	English (USA)
A computer professional should have some idea of how computers work inside. Following the UC Berkeley approach, we spend some time on number systems, computer arithmetic, and floating-point arithmetic, until we reach the spiritual heart of the course: instruction-execution pipelining. We finish with a careful study of cache algorithms. Along the way, I will introduce some topics that will not be examined, but which are fundamental in understanding what computing is all about.
