CS/ECE 752 Advanced Computer Architecture I Spring 2025 Section
Instructor Guri Sohi
URL: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~sohi/cs752/Spring2025/

Lecture

Time: 1:00 - 2:15 Monday, Wednesday, and Friday

Place: 1209 Engineering Hall

This course should meet for two lectures for fourteen weeks. I have scheduled three lecture slots to front-load the course to enable better projects. 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.
