After successful completion of this course, students will be able to…
1. Design basic and intermediate RISC pipelines, including the instruction set, data paths, and ways of dealing with pipeline hazards.
2. Analyse various techniques of instruction-level parallelism, including superscalar execution, branch prediction, and speculation, in design of high-performance processors.
3. Understand memory hierarchy design, memory access time formula, performance improvement techniques, and trade-offs.
4. Understand properties of shared memory and distributed multiprocessor systems and cache coherency protocols.
5. Understand topics in computer architecture, such as multi-core processors, thread-level parallelism, and warehouse computing.

COURSE REQUIREMENTS
Homework There will be several homework assignments, each is like a take-home exam as it shapes about 7-8% of the grade. Students are expected to work individually on assignments. Each homework may have a different weight depending on the size of topics. Homework solutions shall be provided electronically, preferably in Microsoft Word, which allows us to enter comments in it, with a file name format “HW 5 Your Last Name First Name”
Exams There will be two exams, a midterm exam, and a final exam. For the final exam a fair amount of emphasis will be placed on the second part of the course. The dates for the exams are announced on Canvas. Please ignore any other dates posted anywhere else.
GRADING PROCEDURES
Grades will be based on:
Homework 50 %
Midterm Exam 25%

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
Graduate Student Code of Academic Integrity
All Stevens graduate students promise to be fully truthful and avoid dishonesty, fraud, misrepresentation, and deceit of any type in relation to their academic work. A student’s submission of work for academic credit indicates that the work is the student's own. All outside assistance must be acknowledged. Any student who violates this code or who knowingly assists another student in violating this code shall be subject to discipline.
All graduate students are bound to the Graduate Student Code of Academic Integrity by enrollment in graduate coursework at Stevens. It is the responsibility of each graduate student to understand and adhere to the Graduate Student Code of Academic Integrity. More information including types of violations, the process for handling perceived violations, and types of sanctions can be found at stevens.edu/provost/graduate-academics.
Special Provisions for Undergraduate Students in 500-level Courses
The general provisions of the Stevens Honor System do not apply fully to graduate courses, 500 level or otherwise. Any student who wishes to report an undergraduate for a violation in a 500-level course shall submit the report to the Honor Board following the protocol for undergraduate courses, and an investigation will be conducted following the same process for an appeal on false accusation described in Section 8.04 of the Bylaws of the Honor System. Any student who wishes to report a graduate student may submit the report to the Dean of Graduate Academics or to the Honor Board, who will refer the report to the Dean. The Honor Board Chairman will give the Dean of Graduate Academics weekly updates on the progress of any casework relating to 500-level courses. For more information about the scope, penalties, and procedures pertaining to undergraduate students in 500-level courses, see Section 9 of the Bylaws of the Honor System document, located on the Honor Board website.

LEARNING ACCOMODATIONS
Stevens Institute of Technology is dedicated to providing appropriate accommodations to students with documented disabilities. Student Counseling and Disability Services works with undergraduate and graduate students with learning disabilities, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorders, physical disabilities, sensory impairments, and psychiatric disorders in order to help students achieve their academic and personal potential. They facilitate equal access to the educational programs and opportunities offered at Stevens and coordinate reasonable accommodations for eligible students. These services are designed to encourage independence and self-advocacy with support from SCDS staff. The SCDS staff will facilitate the provision of accommodations on a case-by-case basis. These academic accommodations are provided at no cost to the student.
Disability Services Confidentiality Policy
Student Disability Files are kept separate from academic files and are stored in a secure location within the office of Student Counseling, Psychological & Disability Services. The Family Educational Rights Privacy Act (FERPA, 20 U.S.C. 1232g; 34CFR, Part 99) regulates disclosure of disability documentation and records maintained by Stevens Disability Services. According to this act, prior written consent by the student is required before our Disability Services office may release disability documentation or records to anyone. An exception is made in unusual circumstances, such as the case of health and safety emergencies.
