This course focuses on the study of processor microarchitecture. It analyzes different microarchitectural schemes to improve performance, diminish complexity and cost, reduce energy consumption and increase reliability of microprocessors. The different contemporary families of microarchitectures are studied in detailed: superscalar, multithreaded, multicore, vector and graphics processors. Besides, the course analyzes some recent research proposals and provides insight into futre trends.
