The project is either a topic review, or a simulation project
The project is done in groups of 2
The topics include (but not limited to) ILP, cache coherence, GPU processing, interconnection networks, vector processing, warehouse computing … If you have a specific topic in mind, please discuss it with me
The report is a paper 5-10 pages summarizing the topic you choose. The format of the paper will be discussed in the class.
Simulation projects are the simulation of some aspects of computer systems, that requires a working simulator and a report summarizing the simulator (keep in mind if you choose a simulator, think of the data that you will use as input to your simulator. Sometimes getting the data is harder than writing the simulator itself). Topics include
