Computer architecture and organization has been updated throughout to address the most important trends facing computer designers in modern times. This course is aimed at teaching the fundamentals of the computer architecture and organization. The course contents include lectures and projects. The lecture part will teach students how to design a processor from the hardware and software view. They have illustrated the principles with designs from all three of these domains, including examples from consumer electronics, multimedia and web technologies, and high performance computing.
