ACA FULL NOTES UPTP 4th Unit

This document outlines the course structure for an Advanced Computer Architecture course divided into 5 units over 45 periods. Unit I covers instruction level parallelism concepts and challenges. Unit II covers multiple issue processors including VLIW, EPIC, and Itanium architectures. Unit III discusses multiprocessors and thread level parallelism including shared memory architectures and synchronization. Unit IV focuses on memory and I/O including caches, main memory, and designing I/O systems. Unit V examines multi-core architectures including SMT, CMP, and heterogeneous multi-core designs. The primary textbook is listed as "Computer Architecture - A Quantitative Approach" by John Hennessy and David Patterson.
