- A quick straw poll here in the final year CS hardware labs at Edinburgh
- yielded the following topic suggestions:
-
- 1. Data flow machines
- 2. Systolic array processing
- 3. Decoupled architectures.
-
- And if you don't already have it, get hold of a copy of Hennesay and Patterson.
- It will prove a useful source of references.
