Tutorial
The tutorial is a mixture of assignments and lab hours.
The assignments should consolidate the topic from the lecture.
During the lab the students will implement some of the cache coherence protocols that they will learn in the lecture using SystemC, and they will also do some basic GPU programming using CUDA. Basic knowledge of C and C++ is required. The lab assignments will be graded.
