Class Overview
A graduate-level introduction to the foundations of efficient microprocessor design. We will be studying research from the computer architecture literature. The course will focus on three "hot" topics in computer architecture:
1 - Reliable system design
2 - Secure and correct system design
3 - Application-specific architectures.
Special emphasis is placed on helping members of the class transition from student to researcher, through projects, presentations, and class discussions.
Course Structure
The course will include lectures, weekly paper readings with student paper reviews, a late mid-term exam, and student self-picked tasks/experiences. Lectures will be given by a combination of the class instructor, visiting lecturers, and student presentations. The material from the course will be taken from recent and classic papers published in privacy-related conferences.
Grading
Student-selected activities - 60%
Mid-exam - 30%
Participation and Attendance - 10%
Communications
Class announcements will be made via Slack and the class website.
For course questions, please email eecs573-f2024-instructors@umich.edu.
Class Resources
Class materials will be uploaded to Google Drive: EECS 573 Google Drive
Other Considerations:
The class will utilize a hybrid format to accommodate additional enrollment for EECS 573 this semester. The only difference between the in-person class and the online course is that lectures for the in-person class will be in the classroom and on Zoom for the online students. The course office hours, project reviews, project presentations, and exams will be online for all students.
Student Well-Being
Students may experience stressors that can impact both their academic experience and their personal well-being. These may include academic pressure and challenges associated with relationships, mental health, alcohol or other drugs, identities, finances, etc.
If you are experiencing concerns, seeking help is a courageous thing to do for yourself and those who care about you. If the source of your stressors is academic, please contact me so that we can find solutions together. For personal concerns, U-M offers many resources, some of which are listed at Resources for Student Well-being on the Well-being for U-M Students website. You can also search for additional resources on that website.
