Prerequisites: ECE/CS 552 (Introduction to Computer Architecture)
Goals
• The course goals to provide students with:
– The skills and knowledge needed to better understand
embedded computing systems and to initiate original
research in this domain
– Gain experience in designing and evaluating
embedded processor architectures and
microarchitectures.
– An understanding of compiler and run-time software for
embedded systems.
– An opportunity to research embedded computing
systems through a class project and presentation.
Course Description
• Examines recent research in high-performance
embedded computing systems
– Emphasis on embedded processor architectures and
microarchitectures
– Also covers embedded system design and simulation,
embedded compilers and tool chains, run-time
systems, and application design
• Places a large emphasis on
– Reading and discussing research papers and
textbook material
– Working through practical examples
• Homework and a course project used to help
you put the ideas from the course into practice

Lectures, Homework, Quizzes
• It is important to attend each lecture
– Lots of the material covered in lecture is not in the
book or readings
• There will be several homework assignments
–
–
–
–
Not all will be collected/graded
May require use of C/C++ and Unix
Due at start of class
Late homework not accepted
• There will be unannounced in-class quizzes
– Lowest score dropped to accommodate occasional
absence
Project [1]
• For the course project, you will be expected to complete
original work related to embedded systems in teams of
three or four students.
• Projects will consist of a proposal, status report, final
report, and short presentation.
• You are encouraged to come up with your own topic for
the project, but will be provided with a list of possible
ideas.
• Projects can consist of an in-depth survey, original
research, and/or hardware or software development
related to embedded systems.
Project [2]
• The class project counts for 30% of the overall
grade.
• Students will be expected to turn in a summary
of the contribution to the project to facilitate fair
grading to individual team members.
• Additional details on the course projects will be
provided in a separate document.
Other Items
• Plagiarism: using someone else’s ideas,
words, figures without proper acknowledgement
– Is illegal and not allowed in this class
– Be sure to phrase statements in your own words and
cite appropriate references directly in the text
– Failure to do so will result in severe grading penalties
• Communication:
– Questions and comments during class are
encouraged
– I encourage you to meet with me during office hours
– I will frequently email the class
– When sending email include ECE751 in subject
Next Steps
• Visit course website ece751.ece.wisc.edu
• Read over Chapter 1 in textbook
• Complete HW#1, posted on website
• Read over first two papers (no reviews)
