• In general, I have an open-door policy.  However,
  
• In the morning, I am in my office and can answer questions if I am not busy.  I may have meetings and seminars sometimes.
• Wednesday afternoons, I am free to see students.  
• Please send me email so that I wait for you for a day you would like.

Courses 

Spring 2010

Please read this section from time to time for announcements

• CS2204 : Digital Logic and State Machine Design

• CS2214 Computer Architecture and Organization

All Spring 2010 students must register for the lecture AND a recitation section !

• Students who want to register to a closed section in case it happens : Please add your name to the waiting list in CS advisor Ms. Susana Garcia's office, LC241.  
• Often students change their schedule and a closed section becomes open and students on the list register for CS2214.  
• Even, in the first week of the semester a closed section becomes open. Therefore, please keep in touch with Ms. Garcia.
  

• 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 but cannot register, please see your advisor or me to register.

• The textbook :  There is a new edition of the textbook
• We will use the 4th edition :
  
• Computer Organization and Design, David A. Patterson and John L. Hennessy, 4^th edition, Morgan Kaufman, 2009. ISBN : 978-0-12-374493-7.

• Those students who registered for CS2214  : You may want to study the following sections before the semester starts to refresh your memory :
•  C.1 - C.3, C.5, C.7- C.8 and C.10 - C.11. 

• 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, 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
  

• 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 
• Advanced computer arithmetic is covered
  

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

• Textbooks :
• We will continue to use the CS 6133 textbook
• Computer Architecture : A Quantitative Approach, 4^th edition, J. L. Hennessy and D. A. Patterson, Morgan Kaufmann Publishers Inc., 2007.  ISBN : 978-0-12-370490
  

•  We will use the following book as the second textbook :
• Harry F. Jordan & Gita Alaghband, "Fundamentals of Parallel Processing," Prentice-Hall, 2003, ISBN : 0-13-901158-7
  

• 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

• 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 spring 2010 semester starts.
   

• CS2204 : Digital Logic and State Machine Design

• CS2214 Computer Architecture and Organization

• CS6143 : Computer Architecture II
  

My Ph. D. degree is in Computer Science from Polytechnic University 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.
