This course explores technology scaling, different kinds of parallelism, dependencies, correctness, sequential consistency, shared memory systems, coherence scalability, concurrency control, and transaction execution. Students will learn about avoiding dependency across the stack, directory-based coherence, lease-based coherence, and data-driven timestamp management. The teaching method includes theoretical explanations, examples, and a summary of key concepts. This course is intended for individuals interested in advanced hardware and software systems, particularly those with a background in computer science or engineering.
