CS/ECE 752 Advanced Computer Architecture I Fall 2018 Section 1 Instructor Matthew D. Sinclair URL: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~sinclair/courses/cs752/fall2018/

This course should meet for two lectures for fifteen weeks. I have scheduled three lecture slots to front-load the course to provide more time to work on projects at the end of the semester and to accommodate some travel. Thus, approximately fifteen lectures will be cancelled.

This is a rough schedule and will change with little notice as the semester progresses. Please check regularly.

You must be on campus (or use VPN) to access the local paper PDFs.
