Course Project Info

Project Proposals

Due In Class

Format: One page with the title, names of the team members (2 members per team), and explanation of what you want to do

Specify if you will need accounts in a machine, and if so, where?

Example Topics:

Here are some examples:

• Explore a proposed architecture feature for energy efficiency and simulate it
• Measure an architectural feature for energy efficiency on a real machine
• Develop a model for some relevant phenomenon related to energy-efficiency

Simulator

One possibility is ESESC, a multiprocessor simulator that you can use for your projects. Enjoy it!

Project Midterm Reports:

Due in Class

These are some guidelines for the midterm project report:

- About 8 pages

- Describe:

1. Problem you are addressing
2. How you solve it
3. What you have done so far
• code
• machine
• algorithms
• results
4. What you plan to do until the final report

Final project:

The Report is Due after classes finish

Build on top of the midterm report. Use the same structure. Think of it as a conference paper.

In addition, we will have one session for final project presentations. Each team will present for 15 minutes. Please bring a laptop with your presentation. Please be on time and do not take more than the allotted time. Expect a couple of questions at the end.

Students are encouraged to attend the presentations of all the other students.
