ACACES Memory Systems Course -- July 2018

Background Lecture Videos and Course Materials

I would suggest reviewing materials from the following courses. Review of especially basics of computer architecture would be useful. Latest edition of each course is recommended (2018 for Digital Circuits and Computer Architecture, 2017 for Graduate Computer Architecture, and 2015 for Undergraduate Computer Architecture).

• Undergraduate Digital Circuits and Computer Architecture Course Lecture Videos (2018, 2017)

• Undergraduate Digital Circuits and Computer Architecture Course Materials (2018)

• Undergraduate Computer Architecture Course Lecture Videos (2015, 2014, 2013)

• Undergraduate Computer Architecture Course Materials (2015, 2014, 2013)

• Graduate Computer Architecture Course Lecture Videos (2017, 2015, 2013)

• Graduate Computer Architecture Course Materials (2017, 2015, 2013)
