This course examines fundamental issues and design trade-offs in modern processor architectures. We will discuss some of the constraints that limit the design and programmability of modern processors, ...

One of the challenges of migrating older applications to a cloud-native, modern IT architecture is how to provide persistent storage.

Data prefetching has emerged as a critical approach to mitigate the performance bottlenecks imposed by memory access latencies in modern computer architectures. By predicting the data likely to be ...

The modern computer may have begun with a random meeting at a train station in 1944. When mathematician Herman Goldstine told John von Neumann about ENIAC, von Neumann immediately saw both its power ...
