EE 437 - Advanced Computer Architecture- hrs

Institution:

University of Portland

Subject:

Description:

Design and analysis of parallel computers including shared memory multiprocessors and scalable, distributed memory multiprocessors. Bus support for snoop-based caching protocols is developed along with coherence conditions. These techniques are extended to the scalable computer with distributed memory through caching directories. Scalable interconnection networks are studied including trees, meshes, and hypercubes. Two programming models, shared memory and message passing illustrate the design challenges for parallel applications. (Prerequisite: EE 333.)
