CS61C: Great Ideas in Computer Architecture
课程简介
- 所属大学：UC Berkeley
- 先修要求：CS61A, CS61B
- 编程语言：C
- 课程难度：🌟🌟🌟🌟
- 预计学时：100 小时
伯克利 CS61 系列的最后一门课程，深入计算机的硬件细节，带领学生逐步理解 C 语言是如何一步步转化为 RISC-V 汇编并在 CPU 上执行的。和 Nand2Tetris 不同，这门课 在难度和深度上都会提高很多，具体会涉及到流水线、Cache、虚存以及并发相关的内容。
这门课的 Project 也非常新颖有趣。Project1 会让你用 C 语言写一个小程序，20 年秋季学期是著名的游戏 Game of Life。Project2 会让你用 RISC-V 汇编编写一个神经网络，用来 识别 MNIST 手写数字，非常锻炼你对汇编代码的理解和运用。Project3 中你会用 Logisim 这个数字电路模拟软件搭建出一个二级流水线的 CPU，并在上面运行 RISC-V 汇编代码。Project4 会让你使用 OpenMP, SIMD 等方法并行优化矩阵运算，实现一个简易的 Numpy。
总而言之，这是个人上过的最好的计算机体系结构的课程。

CS61C: Great Ideas in Computer Architecture
Descriptions
- Offered by: UC Berkeley
- Prerequisites: CS61A, CS61B
- Programming Languages: C
- Difficulty: 🌟🌟🌟🌟
- Class Hour: 100 hours
This is the last course in Berkeley's CS61 series, which dives into the internal of computer architecture and will make you understand how the C language is translated into RISC-V assembly language and executed on the CPU. Unlike Nand2Tetris, this course is much more difficult and more in-depth, covering pipelining, cache, virtual memory, and concurrency-related content.
The projects are very innovative and interesting. Project1 is a warmup assignment in C. In 2020Fall, you will implement the famous Game of Life. Project2 requires you to write a fully-connected neural network in RISC-V assembly to classify handwritten digits in MNIST dataset, which is a great exercise to write assembly code. In Project3, you will use Logisim, a digital circuit simulation software, to build a two-stage pipeline CPU from scratch and run RISC-V assembly code on it. In Project4 you will implement a toy version of Numpy, using OpenMP, SIMD, and other techniques to speed up matrix operations.
In a word, this is the best computer architecture course I have ever taken.

Digital Design and Computer Architecture
Descriptions
- Offered by: ETH Zurich
- Prerequisites: CS50 or same level course; Better have a basic knowledge of C
- Programming Languages: C, Verilog, MIPS, LC3
- Difficulty: 🌟🌟🌟
- Class Hour: 100 hours
In this course, Onur Mutlu, a great expert in the field of Computer Architecture, will teach you about digital circuits and computer architecture. The course is entirely from the perspective of a computer designer, starting with transistors and logic gates and extending to microarchitecture, caches, and virtual memory. It also covers many of the latest research advances in the field of computer architecture. After learning, you will master digital circuits, hardware description language Verilog, MIPS instruction set, CPU design and performance analysis, pipelining, cache, virtual memory, and so on.
There are 9 labs in the course. You will use the Basys 3 FPGA board and Vivado to design and synthesize the circuits, starting from combinational and sequential circuits, and eventually assembly into a complete CPU. Except for assignment solutions, all the course materials are open source.
