CS/ECE 752 Advanced Computer Architecture I Spring 2020 Section
Instructor Guri Sohi
URL: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~sohi/cs752/Spring2020/

Lecture

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

Place: 2309 Engineering Hall

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