Course Summary
We explore enhanced processor architectures for multimedia information
processing, including video, graphics, images, audio and text. This
includes the design of media processors or coprocessors, and multimedia
extensions for general-purpose microprocessors. It includes the study
of multimedia algorithms, instruction-set architecture, arithmetic and
system improvements. We also look at emerging paradigms in electronic
commerce, e-cash, global villages and extranets, and the processor architectures
that enhance the underlying security, cryptography and intellectual property
protection requirements.
This course is open to graduate and motivated undergraduate students.
Some familiarity with basic computer architecture (e.g., ELE375, ELE475,
or COS471) is desired, or consent of instructor. Undergraduates will
do a research paper, while graduates are expected to also accomplish a
design or analysis project.
