This is literally the biggest privilege that we, as human beings, can have. I want to deeply thank Prof. Onur, for granting us the opportunity of accessing this knowledge, online, with such tremendous quality. There is no possible way to thank you enough for your contribute, really.

The best. Wish I have had the privilege of attending your course, at ETHZ

[saveuyghurmuslims]

Sir u don't know how much you owe me, i am a very eager to learning person, but in my country, the state of education is pathetic, rod based and old learning, and i dream of learning in top universities in the world, but can't due to finantial issues, but you have fullfilled my dream, from the bottom of my heart i thank, you

[CyclopsOct]

I was watching this lecture and paused for a talk on upcoming soc technologies that I had to attend at office. The talk actually contained these memory and compute construction techniques for minimal data movement. The cerebras and tesla chips also came up. These students are really lucky to have this up to date curriculum.

[arifnishan]

The best Prof. for teaching Computer Architecture :)

[yuweifu]

Awesome course. Awesome teacher. Huge thanks. ❤

[NormalHuman]

wow this professor looks like genuinely a cool guy, i'm enjoying these lectures, thanks for sharing them

[shaimasafaaldinbahaaldin]

Really thank you for sharing your lecture materials. They were really helpful and well organized.🙂

Break ends at 1:07:34

thank you for an amazing lecture Professor Mutlu

[mohamedmorsy]

Always a pleasure watching your lectures professor ❤

[nononnomonohjghdgdshrsrhsjgd]

God bless you! I will become a believer because of your great lectures!

[ruibinzhang]

I found the so excellent video too late. There are only five days left for the exam.

Want to learn Distributed Systems -> needs -> Networking -> needs -> Operating Systems -> needs -> Computer Architecture

[HGK]

the recommended reading list in the description is different from the website. the website has a wiki page on a book. should I be reading the 3 mentioned papers in description or something else before proceeding to next lectures?

[robbyleonardclemente]

What are the prerequisites I need to take before taking this course? Can I take this course with little to no knowledge about computers?

[qwellyf]

Can labs be done without basys 3 FPGA board like simulation etc?

[divyamsatle]

guys anyone know why three videos of the course are hidden.

[lawjibran]

Is there any prerequisites to this course

[AndrewMorgan-otpq]

I am very interested in the interconnect between software and hardware. Specifically operating systems and the ability to orchestrate data flow between user applications in memory to various digital hardware devices (network cards, displays, keyboards, etc) and to other applications in memory without them writing over each other. Specifically how you implement or build these operating systems from line 1. The ordering of which modules of the kernel to load into memory first so that other more complex modules that depend on them can run correctly, up until the point where the system is ready for user input and user applications. Im also interested in hypervisors for the same reason; they are like OSs for other OSs.

Do you have any recommended reading for that specific piece of digital computing?

[mehrangizrostami]

Are digital circuits taught in this course ?

[KinzahQamarZaman]

Hi,

What book do you recommend for DDCA and HPCA?
