Educational software/materials

Selected materials that might be useful independent of the courses above:

• a reference on using SIMD via (Intel) SSE intrinsics (from when I last taught CS 3330)
• latex sources for CS 3330 slides, ordered by topic

Educational software:

• HCLRS: educational hardware description language used in CS 3330; built for use with Bryant and O'Hallaron's Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective
• a set of CPU cache exercises: web application for asking randomized CPU cache questions
