Abstract

This paper proposes a new approach to teaching computer architecture by placing an explicit emphasis on circuit and VLSI aspects. This approach has the potential to enhance the teaching of both architecture and VLSI classes, to improve collaboration between CS and ECE departments and to lead to a better understanding of the current difficulties faced by microprocessor designers in industry.
