授業の概要
/Course outline
This is a project-oriented course to learn and experiments in design and implementation techniques of modern computer systems
(Formerly offered as "Advanced Computer
Architecture" by 2011).  
Due to the nature of being project-oriented and fast pace of quarter system, this course is not recommended for the first time (fresh) graduate students unless (a) he/she has discussed with the instructor on the project topic, or (b) he/she has concrete topic for the project topic.
授業の目的と到達目標
/Objectives and attainment
goals
This is a project-oriented course to learn and experiments in design and implementation techniques of modern computer systems.

Students are requsted to discuss with the instructor on his/her project topics prior to the registration.  The student reports in the past years are available upon request.
授業スケジュール
/Class schedule
In the first few weeks, the related topics will be reviewed using reading materials such as journal/conference papers and magazine articles. Possible topics and tools that can be used for the projects will be introduced during this period. For the rest of the quarter, in addition to the literature study, students will report the progress of their project. Some tools can be used on the workstation provided by the school, but some others will require root access (privileged). Since this is a graduate course, you should have access to the computer in your lab for such tools. The instructor will assist student who have difficulties in using such tools.

授業の概要
/Course outline
Due to the advanced of the deep sub-micron technology in VLSIs, many functions can be implemented on a chip (integrated circuit). More than ten millions or hundred millions of transistors are integrated on the chip. To implement the chip, it is impossible to design in manual. Recently, the most of VLSIs is designed using electronic design automation (EDA) tools. For example, once designer specifies the model of an application using a programming language such as C++ with a set of design constraints which consider design requirements, the EDA tools automatically synthesize a design from the model which satisfies the design requirements. Therefore, it is indispensable for designers to learn the EDA tools.
授業の目的と到達目標
/Objectives and attainment
goals
In this course, students learn the standard design flow in digital VLSIs from a functional model of an application specified in SystemC to the Register Transfer Level (RTL) design of the application. However, it is difficult to design by the knowledge for the design techniques only. Therefore, in this course, students get the skill through an exercise. In the exercise, students design a VLSI circuit based on the standard design flow with the EDA tools.

Face-to-Face Class

The meaning of the embedded system in this course is in the middle of the hardware and software. For the hardware student, it can help you to have a deeper understand on the interaction between the chips. Meanwhile, for the software student, it can help you understand how to control the hardware like sensors and actuators with the software program.  

For the undergraduate students of UoA, they have learned how to develop some prototype application based on the open-hardware like Arduino on the course named Integrated Exercise System (IES). The course is more closer to the hardware part, that is you need to learn how to operate the registers to fulfill the driver development of various applications.

/Course outline
Because CMOS technologies are widely used in modern electronics, we need advanced knowledge of scaled CMOS devices. Moreover, recently the demand for mixed-signal LSIs, including analog and RF (Radio Frequency) circuits, is very rapidly increasing, especially for consumer electronics and communication equipments. This course concerns theoretical and practical aspects of CMOS devices and modeling. First, fundamentals of semiconductor devices, which are undergraduate level, will be reviewed and distributed-constant circuit models will be also provided. Then, in-depth modeling of MOS transistors will be introduced using the textbook (Chapters 2 to 5). This helps you design VLSIs using the deep sub-micron CMOS in the near future. Finally, design examples of mixed-signal LSIs will be overviewed.

As we build increasingly complex parallel systems (e.g. MCSoCs/MPSoCs) one of the greatest challenges is in providing the interconnection networks that permit the system components to communicate.
These must be must be high-performance, scalable, simple to design with and power efficient. Network-on-chip architecture is an increasingly popular and feasible alternative to close the productivity gap and achieve the desired performance.
The first part of this course should help the student gain an appreciation of NoC approach.

The second part of this course is about advanced design and performance issues of
computers, such us Multicore Systems, design alternatives for I/O, direct memory access, etc.
授業の目的と到達目標
/Objectives and attainment

After taking this course a student will be able to:

connecting the major system components.

- Identify several approaches to processor implementations.

This course has a set of clearly and explicitly defined set of prerequisites.  If you cannot provide official documents that support your meeting the prerequisites (most typically, undergrad transcripts), PLEASE DO NOT REGISTER.  Registration from such students will be declined. If you not have necessary technical/academic backgrounds, but still want
to take this course, please take appropriate conversion courses first.

Advanced Operating Systems is one of core courses in the graduate program at the University of Aizu, offered from the 3rd quarter of AY2012.
授業の目的と到達目標
/Objectives and attainment
goals
This is one of core courses in the graduate program in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Aizu. The course covers from the basic design concepts of the modern operating systems to the case studies in the actual implementations of the operating systems to see how they utilize and manage advanced hardware technologies for newly emerging applications.

Topics covered overlap with those in the undergraduate operating systems course. However, it is expected that students understand each topic in more detail and at a higher standard.

In the first few weeks, basic concepts of OSes will be reviewed. During this period, students will decide the topics for their reports. In the next few weeks, advanced topics (such as virtual machines or distributed systems) and case studies will be covered.
