Integrated Systems Architecture (2026)

The course provides the fundamental techniques and knowledge for the design of advanced digital processing architectures. Both programmable systems, such as modern microprocessors, and fully dedicated or application-specific designs (ASIC) are considered. Among programmable systems, this course mainly deals with superscalar and instruction-level parallel (ILP) microprocessors. Design methodologies are provided to develop and optimize application-specific architectures, starting from the initial specifications and arriving to the complete layout of the circuit. The main design issues for arithmetic circuits and on-chip interconnect are also studied.
