EECS 470: Computer Architecture

Overview

There will be ~6 homework assignments, ~5 (short) inlab assignments, 3 Verilog programming assignments, and 1 class project. The approximate due dates for all of this can be found on the class schedule.

Changes to due dates in class schedule:

• None at this time.

Homework

Homework is due at the start of class (or if due in lab/discussion the start of lab).

• Homework 1 (ans)
• Homework 2 (ans)
• Homework 3 (ans)
• Homework 4 (ans)
• Homework 5 (ans)
