Admission requirements
Bachelor Informatica
Description
In this course, we build on the course Computer Architecture, Compiler Construction
and Operating Systems. We discuss novel architectural techniques to exploit
Instruction Level Parallelism, like branch prediction, superpipelining, simultaneous
multithreaded architectures, trace processors, etc. We discuss program optimization
by the compiler and source level transformations to exploit the memory hierarchy.
The exact contents of the course will be established together with the students
attending the course.
Course objectives
At the end of the seminar, students:
Should have a clear understanding of the state of the art of the designated research subject in the area of advanced compilers and architectures (that has been defined at the beginning of the course).
Have experienced and studied the general setup of scientific experimentation and implementation in the field of advanced compilers and architectures.
Are able to acquire necessary knowledge of state of the art scientific methods in the field of advanced compilers and architectures by studying scientific publications from journals, proceedings and R&D industries.
Are able to design, implement, execute and report on specific scientific experimentation conducted in the field of advanced compilers and architectures.
