For those thinking of taking EE382N.19, Microarchitecture in Spring, 2024:

Tbe course will be offered Spring semester, 2024.  Pre-req for the course is 
EE 460N or a very strong foundation course in computer architecture (like our 
EE 460N) from your home institution.  If you are concerned about your 
preparation for the course, please see me.

Also, if you are told that the class is full, and you really want to take the
course, please do not be discouraged.  Come to the first class meeting anyway, 
ready to enroll when the current enrollment dwindles as it almost always does 
when the time commitment for the course becomes clear.

Finally, 382N.19 has a well-deserved reputation for being a lot of work.
Please check with your research advisor (if you have one) and students 
who have previously taken the course to help you decide if you want to invest 
the time necessary to successfully complete the course.

If you decide to take EE 382N.19, I hope you will learn a lot, and end up
being glad you did, even though during some very late nights of work, you may
wonder what insanity caused you to enroll.

Good luck, whatever you decide to do.
