For project submission and automatic grading, we are running a dedicated server at http://sys.snu.ac.kr. If you want to access the sys server outside of the SNU campus, please send a mail to the instructor. Project #4: Optimzing Program for a Pipelined Y86-64 Processor In this project, you will learn how to optimize the performance of a program on a pipelined Y86-64 processor. Our target is the pipelined Y86-64 processor implementation called PIPE-Stall that does not support data forwarding.
