Computer Architecture
3 ECTS
Aim:This course is a first introduction to computer architecture and its impact on performances. More precisely, we study how the structure of a program, once implemented on a particular architecture, can impact on performances. We present a design methodology that permits to obtain an optimized implementation (on RISC or DSP) of a program given its algorithmic specification.
Content:
- Computer architectures and performances
- Architecture of RISC processors
