Restrictions:	See below

Description:
The course will cover the systems issues in advanced Internet application
development, especially the challenges, research issues, and techniques
that are critical for developing search engines (incl. robots and indexing
servers), application servers (such as the many E-commerce web servers like
eBay, Cnet, Amazon), and on-line transaction systems. The goal of this
course is to introduce new concepts, techniques, and interesting systems
issues on Internet Computing systems to our graduate students and to get
them excited and motivated in pursuing systems research or systems
development in their career. The course material will come primarily from
research papers. The course will include a significant project component
that will typically require Java/C/CGI programming.


Required Background:
Students are expected to have taken course CS2200 or equivalent on
Operating Systems and Computer Networks. In addition, students are expected
to have a solid grasp of Java/C/CGI programming. Sockets programming is not
required but desirable.

Course Title:   CS 8803E - Memory Hierarchies and Program Locality
CRN:		84072
Instructor:	Yannis Smaragdakis, yannis@cc.gatech.edu, 404-385-1491
Hours:		3-0-3
Time:		TTh 1:30-3
Prereqs: 	Graduate standing, undergraduate Operating Systems 
		course

Description:
Technology trends make memory hierarchies increasingly important.
The difference in speed between processors and main memory
keeps growing. The difference in speed between silicon
memory and magnetic devices (i.e., disks) is also growing.
In this course we will examine research ideas and directions
relating to memory hierarchies (cache, virtual memory, etc.)
as well as memory management (allocators and garbage collection).
The fundamental principle that underlies both areas is that of
program locality. We will examine what program locality is and
how it can be modelled and exploited.

The course material will be drawn from research papers, some
of which will be presented by students.
