CS/ECE 752 Advanced Computer Architecture I Fall 2011 Section 1
Instructor Mark D. Hill and Assistant Lena Olson
URL: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~markhill/cs752/Fall2011/

Lecture

Time:           1:00 - 2:15 Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
Place:          1257 Computer Science and Statistics

This course should meet for two lectures for fifteen weeks. I have scheduled three lecture slots to front-load the course to enable better projects and to accommodate some travel. Thus, approximately fifteen lectures will be cancelled.

Approximate Schedule & Readings

  • Online PDF for notes and papers for University of Wisconsin only.
  • Do not print lecture notes far in advance as they may be updated.
