Course Overview

ILP, superscalar, out-of-order execution (Tomasulo), TLP, multi-core cache coherence (MESI), vector SIMD, and GPUs. Curriculum Structure & Core Modules: • 1. Instruction-Level Parallelism (ILP): Superscalar Processors, Dynamic Execution, and Branch Prediction • 2. Dynamic...

What You'll Learn

  • Analyze instruction-level parallelism (ILP) limits and dynamic scheduling using Tomasulo's algorithm.
  • Evaluate multi-core Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) architectures and interconnection network topologies.
  • Trace snooping and directory-based cache coherence protocols (MSI, MESI, MOESI) under concurrent writes.
  • Compare relaxed memory consistency models (Sequential Consistency, Total Store Order, Weak Ordering).
  • Design SIMD vector processing routines and analyze GPU stream multiprocessor architectures.

Requirements

  • Completion of CPE 301.

Institutional Course Curation · PAMCET

The PAMCET Learning Team is the institutional curriculum and content group behind course publishing on this platform. PAMCET (Professional and Academic Management Centre for Education and Training) is operated by Digitpen Hub Ltd, a company registered in Lagos, Nigeria. Courses credited to the PAMCET Learning Team are structured, organized, and published centrally by the platform rather than authored by a single named individual instructor — each course's syllabus, learning outcomes, and content are reviewed before publication under this institutional account. For questions about a specific course or to report a content issue, please use the platform's Help & Support or Contact Us pages.
