Abstract

Chip Multiprocessor (CMP) has been the main stream in microprocessor design with the progress in semiconductor technology area. It has brought new changes to computer architecture. This is also an enormous challenge to the universities in how to teach the new concepts to the students. We have designed an independent multicore curriculum in Zhejiang University to introduce multicore computing into our university. This curriculum has been identified as Model Curriculum in China. In this paper, we share our experiences in multicore education by model curriculum construction.
