Abstract

The seminar covers heterogeneous systems, those that make use of different types of computing (GPUs, FPGA, ASICs, etc.) and/or memory (NVM/SCM). Our focus will be the systems and architectures that use these devices.

Objective

The objective of this course is to familiarize students with important topics in heterogeneous systems, past, present, and future: the devices, the architectures, and their uses.

Content
