B8566 - ATTIVITÀ PROGETTUALE DI ARCHITETTURE DEI CALCOLATORI M

Learning outcomes

Apply the knowledge acquired in the Computer Architecture M course to independently carry out an in-depth activity on a topic agreed with the lecturer in charge of the course.

Course contents

Projects on sustainable and low-carbon Computing Architectures.

RISC-V based computing architecture projects for edge/HPC/AI and low-level software layers (Linux, Device Drivers, Compilers).

Projects on performance modelling and benchmarking of computer architectures for AI and High-Performance Computing.

Readings/Bibliography

Recommended readings will be provided to the students upon selection of the project subject.

Teaching methods

The final examination consists of a demonstration and an individual discussion about the proposed project. A short report is required.

Assessment methods

Students are partitioned in teams of 2 to 4. They meet weekly in the Lab.
Tutors transfer the knowledge supporting the design activity with hands-on demonstrations.
Eventually each team selects or proposes a project. The project is implemented in the lab with tutor support.

This short course aims to set up a harmonized "team-of-teams" , whith intra-team and inter-team co-operation, addressing a common project.

Teaching tools

Project specific tools will be suggested to each team.

 

In considerazione della tipologia di attività e dei metodi didattici adottati, la frequenza di questa attività formativa richiede la preventiva partecipazione di tutti gli studenti ai Moduli 1 e 2 di formazione sulla sicurezza nei luoghi di studio [https://elearning-sicurezza.unibo.it/], in modalità e-learning.
