CSU34021 – Computer Architecture II
(Semester 1, 5 ECTS) Advanced topics in Computer Architecture including virtual memory, cache organisation, pipelining, multiprocessor architectures and cache coherency.
Category: ICS Year 3 Elective
CSU33081 – Computational Mathematics
(Semester 1, 5 ECTS) Floating point number systems; Mathematical Background, Solving Non-Linear Equations; Solving Systems of Linear Equations; Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors; Curve Fitting and Interpolation; Numerical Differentiation; Numerical Integration.
CSU34016 – Introduction to Functional Programming
(Semester 1, 5 ECTS) Functional programming languages present a powerful, abstract, and important direction in programming languages. This modules uses the functional programming language called “Haskell” to introduce key concepts such as how to compute using functions, and how these languages can easily support powerful features such as pattern-matching, recursion, strong typing, type polymorphism, higher-order functions, laziness, and type classes.
CSU33032 – Advanced Computer Networks
(Semester 2, 5 ECTS) This module introduces students to advanced topics in the areas of data communications and cryptography. A detail study is made of the TCP protocol in terms of multiplexing, flow and congestion control to understand the effects congestion in a large distributed network such as the Internet.
CSU33071 – Compiler Design I
(Semester 2, 5 ECTS) An introduction to lexical analysis, parsing, code generation and other topics related to compiler design.
CSU33014 – Concurrent Systems I
(Semester 2, 5 ECTS) The goal of this module is to provide students with a deep understanding of parallel and multi-core architectures and to provide students with necessary architecture background for careers in professional software development and/or further research on these emerging platforms.
