Course Description


ECE 5750 Advanced Microprocessor Architecture

Spring. 4 credits. Prerequisite: ECE 4750 or CS 4420.

This course is a revised version of the former ECE 575 High-Performance Microprocessor Architecture. In addition to performance enhancement techniques of modern single-core microprocessors such as branch prediction and speculation methods, which have been the focus of ECE 5750, this course will also discuss reconfigurable architecture, on-chip interconnect, and non-performance issues such as security and verification.
