+===== Course Learning Outcomes  =====
+By the end of this course, the student should be able to
+  - Design  cache,  memory hierarchy,  and  virtual  memory  using different techniques to improve cost/performance ratio.
+  - Demonstrate  how  dynamic  scheduling  and  speculative  execution can  improve  the  system  performance  and  explain  how  it  is implemented in modern processors.
+  - Evaluate different design alternatives and make quantitative/qualitative argument for one design over the other.
+  - Identity the different types of parallelism (data, instruction, thread, transaction) for a given application.
+  - Compare and  evaluate different techniques (such as multithreading, multicore, or vector) to improve CPU performance
