CS/ECE 752 Advanced Computer Architecture I Fall 2013 Section 1
Instructor Guri Sohi
URL: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~sohi/cs752/Fall2013/

Lecture

Time:           9:30 - 10:45 Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
Place:          103 Psychology

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.
