I am pursuing B.Tech from MDU (Maharshi Dayanand University), Rohtak and looking for MDU B.Tech Computer Science 7th Semester Syllabus of ACA (Advanced Computer Architecture) Subject so please provide me the same with exam pattern?

The detailed course syllabus for the Advance Computer Architecture topic covered in the Semester VII of Bachelor of Technology (Computer Science & Engineering) course offered at MDU is as given below:

Advanced Computer Architecture

Section A
Architecture And Machines: Some definition and terms, interpretation and microprogramming. The instruction set, Basic data types, Instructions, Addressing and Memory. Virtual to real mapping. Basic Instruction Timing.
Time, Area and Instruction Sets: Time, cost-area, technology state of the Art, The Economics of a processor project: A study, Instruction sets, Professor Evaluation Matrix

Section B
Cache Memory Notion: Basic Notion, Cache Organization, Cache Data, adjusting the data for cache organization, write policies, strategies for line replacement at miss time, Cache Environment, other types of Cache. Split I and D-Caches, on chip caches, Two level Caches, write assembly Cache, Cache references per instruction, technology dependent Cache considerations, virtual to real translation, overlapping the Tcycle in V-R Translation, studies. Design summary.

Section C
Memory System Design: The physical memory, models of simple processor memory interaction, processor memory modelling using queuing theory, open, closed and mixed-queue models, waiting time, performance, and buffer size, review and selection of queuing models, processors with cache.

Section D
Concurrent Processors: Vector Processors, Vector Memory, Multiple Issue Machines, Comparing vector and Multiple Issue processors.
