CS 534

Spring 2025 All Classes

All Classes
Advanced Topics in Computer Architecture

Credit: 4 hours.

Current topics in computer architecture, selected from areas of current research such as: energy efficiency, processing in memory, cloud computing, 3-D architectures, security and privacy, hardware and software resiliency, cross-stack design, heterogeneous platforms, approximate computing, mobile computing, machine learning accelerators, and novel computing technologies.

May be repeated, if topics vary. Credit is not given towards a degree from multiple offerings of this course, if those offerings have significant overlap, as determined by the CS department. Prerequisite: CS 433 or CSE 422. Additional prerequisites or co-requisites may be specified each term. See Class Schedule information.

Section Info:
Mobile computing platforms (e.g., smartphones, tablets, wearables, processors in autonomous vehicles) have enabled a revolutionary change in society over the last two decades. Much of this success is a result of a fundamental shift in architectural design, with new architectures focusing on lowering energy consumption, improving the handling of data, and specializing for target platforms. These architectures are continuing to transform, as the relationship between data centers, networks, and mobile platforms changes, and as applications continue to deal with increasing amounts of data. This course will cover key enabling technologies and current research challenges for mobile computer architectures. Topics include smartphone architectures and hardware components, memory and storage systems for mobile platforms, system-on-chip integration, emerging applications, and edge computing platforms. The course will be taught using a combination of lectures and paper readings, and students will be expected to present research papers and complete a substantial final project. It is strongly suggested that students take: CS 433 or equivalent For up-to-date information about CS course restrictions, please see the following link: http://go.cs.illinois.edu/csregister.
