The slides prepared for computer architecture courses at Czech Technical University in Prague.
In particular, the next courses are based on the materials at this time:
- FEL: B35APO Computer Architectures
- Czech B35APO - https://cw.fel.cvut.cz/wiki/courses/b35apo/start
- English BE5B35APO - https://cw.fel.cvut.cz/wiki/courses/b35apo/en/start
The processor description uses QtRvSim simulator to demonstrate basic single cycle and pipelined processor structure, as well as memory hierarchy, cache, branch prediction, and interrupt handling.
The simulator is available for download and online execution in a web browser at the Computer Architectures Education site
The sources are available on GitHub
The main CTU FEE repository for the APO slides on the faculty GitLab
The CTU students and colleagues should report issues there.
The GitHub copy of the slides sources is provided on GitHub to allow public reuse, problems report, and contributions pull requests
The slides are based on the LaTeX Beamer style. The diagrams and figures sources are developed in SVG format and converted to PDF format by Inkscape. The actual version supports Czech and English language. The language is selected by DOC_LANG variable. Use the following command in the individual slide/lecture topics directory
- make DOC_LANG=en
The Czech slides for lectures 01 to 11 and 13 are completed.
The English variant offers slides for lectures 01 to 06.
The older LibreOffice-based slides for Czech and English lecture variants are complete for the whole course; see the subject pages for PDF outputs and ODP files.
