Spring 2020: Datacenter Architecture
ECE 561, W 1:25-3:55PM, Fitzpatrick Schiciano A
[Webpage]
This course covers advanced topics in data centers
with an emphasis on computer architecture and
systems. This course surveys recent advances in
processor, memory, network, and storage. And it
surveys modern software systems that run in
computing clouds. Discussion-oriented classes
focus on in-depth analysis of readings. Students
will learn to reason about datacenter performance
and energy efficiency. Students will complete a
collaborative research project.
