AbstractThe seminar covers core concepts and ideas in the general area of computer systems, ranging from software and hardware architectures to system design for operating systems, data processing systems, and distributed systems.
Learning objectiveThe seminar will cover core concepts and ideas in the general area of computer systems, ranging from software and hardware architectures to system design for operating systems, data processing systems, and distributed systems. The focus will be on fundamental ideas that apply across systems and application areas but with an emphasis on those ideas that apply to cloud platforms and hardware acceler
ContentThe seminar will consist on student presentations based on a list of papers that will be provided at the beginning of the course. Presentations will be done in teams. Presentations will be arranged in slots of 30 minutes talk plus 15 minutes questions. Grades will be assigned based on quality of the presentation, coverage of the topic including material not in the original papers, participation during the seminar, and ability to understand, present, and criticize the underlying technology.

AbstractThe seminar covers heterogeneous systems, those that make use of different types of computing (GPUs, FPGA, ASICs, etc.) and/or memory (NVM/SCM). Our focus will be the systems and architectures that use these devices.
Learning objectiveThe objective of this course is to familiarize students with important topics in heterogeneous systems, past, present, and future: the devices, the architectures, and their uses.
ContentThe seminar consists of student presentations based upon a list of papers provided at the beginning of the course. Presentations will be done in teams. Students will be allotted a 45 minute time slot consisting of a 30 minute presentation and 15
minutes for questions. Grading is based upon the quality of the presentation, the coverage of the paper including necessary background and follow-on work, and the ability to understand and critique the paper and technology.
