CA226 - Advanced Computer Architectures

This course is based on the text-book

Computer Architecture - a Quantitative Approach, by Hennessy & Patterson, 4th edition

Lecture Notes are available from the public drive \public\mike\ca226\ca226-n.doc, where n=1,2,3…..

Resources

Some nice pipeline animations and tutorial material is available from here http://www.cs.tcd.ie/Jeremy.Jones/vivio/vivio.htm

This article describes some neat optimisation tricks for that most challenging of environments – 64-bit gaming

Notes on the new CELL microprocessor from IBM/Sony - http://www.blachford.info/computer/Cell/Cell0_v2.html

If you are lucky enough to own a PC with an AMD processor, try downloading and experimenting with AMD’s CodeAnalyst program, which profiles your code and finds “hotspots”. It also includes a very nice pipeline simulator – see www.amd.com and click on “CPU Tools”

To find out more about your own PC and its processor, download free tools from www.cpuid.com

A new tool winmips64 has been developed for use with the MIPS64 processor as described in the latest version of the text-book. It is free, so download it.
