Computer System Design: Improving Energy Efficiency and Performance | ChalmersX on edX

Learn the elements of computer design needed for programmers to make the most of computers’ speed and to write energy-effective programs. Take this course free on edX: https://www.edx.org/course/computer-s... ABOUT THIS COURSE In this computer science course, you will learn the basic foundations underpinning the design of modern multicore-based computers. In addition, you will learn how design decisions affect how fast programs execute and how much energy is wasted. Topics include: Basic design concepts of computers Principles and models for how fast a program will execute and how much energy it will waste Basic principles for exploiting instruction-level parallelism Data and control dependences Pipelining Memory locality Cache design principles During the course you will engage with a community of learners with similar interests to share knowledge. The course is derived from Chalmers’s senior undergraduate course in computer system design. It assumes only a basic course in computer organization including assembly-language programming. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Design concepts in modern multicore-based computers including processors and memory hierarchies How energy efficient and fast a program will execute How to use simple models to analyze energy efficiency and performance How taught design concepts are used in modern multicore-based computer systems
