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, ...

This course introduces students to the architecture and design of Microcontrollers (MCUs), which are small processors used in a myriad of products. The main MCU components of the processor, memory, ...

An Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) defines the software interface through which for example a central processor unit (CPU) is controlled. Unlike early computer systems which didn’t define a ...
