“Modern data-driven applications expose limitations of von Neumann architectures – extensive data movement, low throughput, and poor energy efficiency. Accelerators improve performance but lack ...

This course examines fundamental issues and design trade-offs in modern processor architectures. We will discuss some of the constraints that limit the design and programmability of modern processors, ...

In the early days of computing, everything ran quite a bit slower than what we see today. This was not only because the computers' central processing units – CPUs – were slow, but also because ...
