tldr: We will introduce the concepts relevant to the analysis of computer
architectures, and the fundamentals required for design. Course
deliverables will primarily be written prose analyses.

\item[Assignments] There will be 3-4 written assignments focusing on
  the analysis of computer code at the CPU level. Insight into
  concepts such as memory hierarchy, pipelining, branch prediction,
  locality and others is expected. Assignments
  are due at 5pm on the assigned day (will always be a Monday). Please
  submit by email and bring a paper copy to class.

\item[Exams] There will be a final exam which will be
  structured similarly to the home assignments. There is no midterm
  exam.

\item[Grading] Grading breakdown in table at bottom of page. If you
  fail to submit an assignment you will fail the course. Unexcused
  late assignments will have a single letter grade deducted per 2 days
  late. The maximum grade for any tardy assignment is a B.

\item[Attendance] We will not take attendance, but it may factor into
  your participation score. Participation score is multifaceted. We
  will discuss this during the first class.

\item[Office hours] We will arrive at an appropriate schedule during

  appointment.
