Objective of this course: the objective of this course is to develop an understanding of the concepts involved in the design and development of high performance and special-purpose digital computing systems, in terms of both hardware and software design. The course builds on a basic understanding of parallel computing principles, expanding the students' expertise into the specialized fields of reconfigurable computing and high performance parallel computing. The coursework involves four laboratory assignments and two mini projects. A number of compulsory quizzes are held, for which advanced notice and a syllabus is provided. The lecture sessions include presentations by lecturers, seminars and workshops during which students learn fundamental theories, brainstorm ideas, and discuss influential and recent publications in the field.
Note: Students in the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) programme are all required to take this course, and these students must satisfy the DP requirements for this course in order to complete Exit Level Outcomes (ELO) 1 and 2 for their degree programme (students will only be granted the degree once having completed all ten ECSA ELOs).
