Courses 

Spring 2012

• CS/EE 1012 : Introduction to Computer Engineering

• CS2204 : Digital Logic and State Machine Design

• CS2214 Computer Architecture and Organization  

• CS6143 : Computer Architecture II 

Fall 2012

• CS2204 : Digital Logic and State Machine Design

• The textbook : 
• Digital Design Principles and Practices, John F. Wakerly, 4^th edition, Prentice Hall, 2006. ISBN : 0-13-173349-4
• Students who buy used books : The software that is on the CD that comes with the book will not be used.
• However, the software is used by upper level courses and so students are advised that they have the CD of the textbook.

• CS2214 Computer Architecture and Organization

All fall 2012 students must register for the lecture AND a recitation section !

• The CS 2214 prerequisite  list is as follows :
  
  
• You will satisfy either 1 or 2 below :

                              1) CS2204 (C- or better for undergraduate computer engineering students)        

                      2)   a) CS2134 (C- or better) and
                            b) MA2312 and MA2322

• If you satisfy the prerequisite(s) but cannot register, please see your advisor or me to register.

• The textbook : 
• We will use the revised 4^th edition which is a new version :
  
• Computer Organization and Design, David A. Patterson and John L. Hennessy, Revised 4^th edition, Morgan Kaufman, 2012. ISBN : 978-0-12-374750-1.

• CS6143 : Computer Architecture II

• General Information :
• CS6133 is a prerequsite for CS6143
• Students who have taken CS2214 can take CS6143
• In order to test your knowledge to determine if you have the background for CS6143, work on the program on slide 4 of the following presentation MIPS01 (a PowerPoint file)
• If you cannot get the right clock period, study the slides
• If you cannot follow the slides, you need to take CS6133 !
  

• CS 6143 is substantially heavier than CS 6133.  
• There are two textbooks one of which is the CS6133 textbook
• The CS2214 textbook is different even though the authors are the same

• I strongly caution students about taking the course !  In general, if your previous hardware courses (typically digital logic and then computer architecture and organization) were not "A", I would suggest that you not register for the course.
  

• The course covers high-speed computing, specifically advanced pipelining and parallel processing :
• The emphasis in the parallel processing area will be more on multi-core parallel processing

• In the first half of the semester, we will cover advanced pipelining and in the second half, we will cover parallel processing

• Textbooks : There are TWO textbooks
• We will continue to use the CS 6133 textbook.  Note that this is the new edition, the 5^th edition of the book :
• Computer Architecture : A Quantitative Approach, 5^th edition, J. L. Hennessy and D. A. Patterson, Morgan Kaufmann Publishers Inc., 2012.  ISBN : 978-0-12-383872-8
• Students who buy used books : Make sure you also get the CD that comes with the book.  The CD is needed

• I will decide about the textbook on parallel processing over the summer.  Please do not buy the second book currently used which is the following :
• Harry F. Jordan & Gita Alaghband, "Fundamentals of Parallel Processing," Prentice-Hall, 2003, ISBN : 0-13-901158-7
• Again, please do not buy this second book until I make my decision !
  

• We will also use conference and workshop papers on parallel processing, specifically on multi-core parallel processing
• We will use slides and papers of a symposium and workshop organized this spring.  The slides and papers are often  accessible through web pages and by using the Polytechnic library web page
• In addition, we will use reference books whose names will be given in the Syllabus when the semester starts

• Those students who registered for CS6143 but did not take CS6133 (i.e. those who took CS2214 at Poly or those who took the first level computer architecture course at another school) :

• Please review CS6133 chapters, especially the following : Chapters 1 and 5 and Appendices A (pages A-1 to A-47), B and C of the Hennsessy book.  

• In addition, please study the MIPS01 presentation to refresh your memory by the time the fall 2012 semester starts.

My Ph. D. degree is in Computer Science from Polytechnic Institute of NYU in 1991.  The Ph.D. work was on parallel I/O, specifically a parallel disk system and the associated file server for the hypercube computer. My B.S. and M.S. degrees are in Electrical Engineering from Middle East Technical University, METU, Ankara, Turkey in 1979 and 1981, respectively.
