The course covers fundamental concepts underlying the architecture of modern computer systems. Computer architecture provides the conceptual framework for designing computers that meet the needs of diverse computing applications while dealing with the constraints and opportunities afforded by constantly evolving technology. Computer architectures embody fundamental systems concepts in hardware and software to judiciously balance tradeoffs within a complex design space.
