Lectures are on:
- Tuesday 14:00-16:00 (Kambri MCH)
- Thursday 14:00-16:00 (Kambri MCH)
Lectures will be given in-person in Kambri (see rooms above). They will be available on Echo 360 shortly after each lecture time.
Lecture Slides / Videos#
Lectures follow content in the course textbook ‘Digital Design and Computer Architecture’ which you can find here. Chapters are listed on the right of the table, however the slides often follow sections instead of whole chapters, which you can find in the footnotes of the slides.
