| 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. |
| 教科書 ／Textbook(s) |
Selected journal and conference papers and magazine articles will be used. No textbook required. However, the following book is recommended as a reference: COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE, A Quantitative Approach, Sixth Edition. ISBN-13: ISBN: 9780128119051, MORGAN KAUFFMAN . |

| 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. |

Design space exploration using Stratus 10. Exercise 11. Algorithms used in HLS 12. Exercise 13. Presentation 14. Presentation In the exercise, students creates a functional model of an application such as a signal processing algorithm using SystemC. Then, students synthesize the RTL model using a Cadence HLS tool. In addition, students verify the functional requirements using a Cadence logic simulator. Finally, students evaluate the performance and area of the designed circuit. |

This course covers brain-inspired (neuromorphic) neural networks that mimic the functional behavior and the organizational structure of the neocortex. We present spiking neurons and explore principles of computation and self-organization in biological and artificial neural networks. The course reviews functional plasticity models and emergent computational capabilities of neural networks, focusing on short-term and long-term synaptic plasticity to develop information-processing devices directly inspired by the working of neurons, synapses, and networks. This should enables the development of novel high-performance neuro-inspired computing platforms. |

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, communication equipments, and hardware accelerators for artificial intelligence (AI) such as deep learning. In addition, knowledge of scaled CMOS devices is also important for designing emerging memories such as MRAMs (Magnetic RAMs) and ReRAMs (Resistive RAMs), and so on. 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 and emerging memory LSIs will be overviewed. Recent trends in semiconductor LSI are also referred during the class. |
| 授業の目的と到達目標 ／Objectives and attainment goals |
At the end of the course the student should be able to: ・Explain the basic concepts of the semiconductor devices. ・Design CMOS VLSI chips. ・Understand MOS transistor models used for design of mixed-signal LSIs ・Forecast the future direction of VLSI technologies. |

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 do 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. |

| 授業の概要 ／Course outline |
Deep learning models such as neural networks are used in research and development for a wide variety of systems, including automotive, medical, and surveillance systems. Because the training of deep learning models requires a large amount of computation, it is essential to exploit the performance of Central Processing Units (CPUs), Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), and other dedicated circuits to accelerate training. That also requires numerical computation libraries and virtual environments. In this lecture, students will learn about the numerical libraries and virtual environments necessary for deep learning research and development and acquire skills to build an environment for deep learning research and development. Students will also learn the knowledge and techniques required to accelerate inference. |
| 授業の目的と到達目標 ／Objectives and attainment goals |
1. Students will acquire knowledge and abilities to set up an environment for deep learning research and development. 2. Students will acquire knowledge for accelerating deep learning training and realizing efficient deep learning models. |
