一、課程說明(Course Desc<x>ription)
<br>The memory hierarchy plays an increasingly important role in determining the cost, 
<br>performance, power consumption, and reliability of SoC, mobiles, PCs, and 
<br>datacenters.  Students interested in these industries or research areas may want 
<br>to have architectural-level knowledge in the memory hierarchy.  This course 
<br>introduces architectural-level techniques of designing, managing, and optimizing a 
<br>memory hierarchy at all levels, including on-chip caches, main memory, storage 
<br>caches, and storage.  In addition, emerging topics such as active storage and 
<br>processing in memory will also be introduced.
