CISE Educational Infrastructure: Compiler and Architecture Software Tools

9312649 Dietz在这个项目下，先前开发的计算机体系结构性能分析和汇编器、编译器和翻译器构建的研究工具将被改编和增强，为本科生水平的集成系统设计的实验方法奠定基础。重点将是使这些工具功能强大且易于使用，提供软件支持，并开发与计算机系统设计中的特定概念相关的基于工具的模块化实验。这些实验将加强传统课程，特别是涉及计算机体系结构和编译器的课程。在最低层次上，这些工具将促进在体系结构设计和系统软件构建中使用简单概念的实验。在最高层次上，他们将支持实验，允许学生在完整的系统中检查设计权衡，其中架构和系统软件的交互是多样的和评估的。这一创新的教材将用于普渡大学新的计算机工程学士学位课程，并酌情用于普渡大学的计算机科学课程。传播计划大量使用电子分发。使用普渡大学继续工程教育设施制作的录像带和电话会议将提供“电子教师手册”，以帮助其他学校采用这些工具和实验。＊＊＊

9312649 Dietz Under this project, previously developed research tools for computer architecture performance analysis and for assembler, compiler, and translator construction will be adapted and augmented to create the foundation for an experimental approach to integrated system design at the undergraduate level. The emphasis will be on making the tools powerful and easy-to-use, providing software support, and developing tool-based modular experiments tied to specific concepts in computer system design. These experiments will enhance traditional courses, especially those involving computer architecture and compilers. At the lowest level, the tools will facilitate experimentation with simple concepts in architecture design and system software construction. At the highest level, they will support experiments that allow students to examine design tradeoffs in complete systems, where the interaction of architecture and system software is varied and evaluated. This new and innovative educational material will be utilized in a new Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering degree program and also, as appropriate, in the Computer Science program at Purdue. The dissemination plan makes heavy use of electronic distribution. Videotapes and teleconferences, produced using Purdue's Continuing Engineering Education facilities, will provide "electronic instructors' manuals" to help other schools adopt the tools and experiments. ***
