Computer Science

Study of design of advanced computer architectures. Instruction-level parallel processors (ILPs), pipelined processors, VLIW architectures, superscalar processors. Instruction-level data-parallel architectures: SIMD architectures, associative and neural architectures, data-parallel pipelined and systolic architectures, vector architectures. Thread and process-level parallel architectures, multi-threaded architectures, distributed memory architectures, shared memory architectures.
