Abstract

The use of Web resources is becoming a core part of teaching computer architecture. In this paper we identify five notable Web sites that specialize in teaching tools for computer architecture instructors and discuss the role they can play in facilitating learning. While these Web sites contain a wide range of valuable resources, there remain gaps in what is available online. Community support appears meager for making tools and resources available. We conclude that the computer-architecture community faces challenges both in the content of Web-based materials (accurate and appropriate information) and the process (making information known and available to academic community).
