ECET 325 is a
lab-based course that studies the architecture, hardware, and system
software of computers. Fundamental principles associated with the
operation of computers are introduced and explored. Quantitative
modeling and performance analysis of computer subsystems, their
performance, and interactions are studied in the classroom. This is
further compared and contrasted experimentally with measurements
performed in the lab.
Students are introduced to probability and
probabilistic processes, topics that require understanding when modeling and
approximating computer system performance. Queuing theory is introduced
and used as a way of modeling the arrival and service processes of
input events. |
