Course Overview

The Advanced Computer Architecture certification is offered under the Department of Computer Science and engineering. Swayam offers this program in association with IIT Guwahati. Participants who take admission in this course come to know about high-end microprocessors, cache memory, cache optimization using gem5, etc. The course does not ask the students to pay any fees to access the course. The Advanced Computer Architecture training given through this program is completely online and there is no requirement of attending the video sessions at any specific time. The video lectures can be joined by the students at any time. Similarly, candidates can leave the sessions too according to their requirements.

Students also get the chance to acquire a verified certificate for the online course which can be availed by paying the registration amount as exam fees and qualifying for an in-person exam. The approximate time which will be taken by the mentor of the course to complete the Advanced Computer Architecture certification syllabus is 8 weeks. Students can also learn from the course on their own if they want to choose a longer period of time than 8 weeks. The program is available on the website throughout the year so that students can apply to the course whenever they feel the need.
