Computer Architecture (CMAR)
Computer Architecture (CMAR) is the sub-discipline within Computer Engineering that addresses how computer hardware is organized at the chip and system levels. Computer architects consider both application requirements as well as technology constraints in order to develop hardware designs that achieve the best performance, power, area, and/or productivity. As conventional silicon-based technology scaling ("Moore's Law") draws to a close, computer architecture will become even more important in enabling future power efficiency gains. This will occur through innovations in areas such as parallelism, specialization, and new computational models.
