Computer Architecture - 99 Academic Year

計算機架構 - 99學年度

本課程是由 國立陽明交通大學資訊工程學系 提供。

Computer Architecture is one of the few fundamental subjects that a computer scientist must master. It describes how a computer system should be designed, from the user’s and the system view. It differs from the undergraduate course Computer Organization in that, this course tells you not only how current computers are designed, but also the future directions in accordance with technological changes, plus many design techniques in depth.
