Multi-Core Computer Architecture – Storage and Interconnects: Update from the course instructor
Dear Learners
I hope that those who are continuing with the course are progressing well. Assignment 2 and 3 are due this week (Sept 5, Wed).
All the questions are simple and just referring to slides/video alone, you can answer 60% of the questions. I request all of you to try solving the assignments/quiz questions. This will help you assess how much you have understood the subject. enjoy learning new things.
Few students have responded that the Assignment 3 in gem5 tool is hard to work on and they are not that comfortable with simulator-based assignments.
Out of 8 assignments (1 per week), only 3 (Assignment 3 and 6) are simulator based and the other 6 are from video material. Our grading policy will take the best 6 assignment marks out of 8. So even if you perform bad (worst case even 0 marks) in simulator-based assignments, still you are not losing as your marks in the other 6 assignments are only counted for final grading.
So if you wish to skip/de-register the course because of simulator-based assignments, I request you to stay back. You could continue with the course and do the other assignments. Simulators are introduced just to help those who are looking for deeper insights into computer architecture. Do register for the certification exam and get benefitted. These NPTEL course certificates will surely add value to your CV and give better scope for hardware industry based jobs/ internships opportunities in IITs/ R and D companies.
Continue doing well and get exposure and technical knowledge from NPTEL courses. Wish you all the best for rest of the assignments and the final exam.
with best regards

Multi-Core Computer Architecture – Storage and Interconnects : Reminder Assignment 1 deadline
Dear Learners
Few updates...
I hope that you have gone through week-1 videos and tutorial fully. This is a reminder mail that today is the last date for submitting Assignment-1.
A large number of students have already submitted the assignment and there are few more yet to submit. 50% of the questions are very simple and taken directly from the slides of the lecture. A quick glance through the videos will help you in this regard. Some questions are minor variants from the problems discussed in the tutorials- 1A and 1B. Even if you know solutions to only few questions, kindly do submit them. Anyway there are no negative marks. Just try and see how much understanding you have in the subject. Detailed solutions will be posted once the deadline is over.
Deadline for Assignment 2 and 3 is extended to September 5. Start working on them now onwards and do not wait for the last moment for submission. Assignment 3 is based on results from gem5 simulator. Those of you who have not installed gem5 kindly do it soon. Once you install gem5, assignment 3 can be done in 30 minutes. It is very easy and not much time consuming. Week 2 and week 3 videos on gem5 will help you in this regard.
A feedback link was already posted and I am going through the feedback given by you. Some of the suggestions are really useful and we will incorporate it soon. We are planning to have a live session to clarify your queries sometime within next 10 days. Other active learners who have not posted the feedback, I request you to mention your feedback in the link given.
Wish you a happy learning. Enjoy the joy of understanding computer architecture.
with best regards
John Jose.
