My name is Yujia Jin. Welcome to Computer Science 252
My goal is to do whatever
is necessary to ensure that you receive the maximum benefits from taking
this class. Please take a moment to browse through this information
packet, which introduces the course in more detail, explains how to contact
me during the semester, and contains other important class information,
such as the syllabus and grading policy.
There is an introductory
assignment designed to familiarize you with the electronic communication
and document distribution mechanisms we plan to use this semester.
You will notice that I have included a likeness of myself with this letter.
I would like to know who you are as well. Be sure to fill out the enclosed
Student Background Questionnaire,
attaching a photograph of yourself if at all possible.
Computer architecture is
a dynamic and growing field, and this is one of the most exciting times
in the history of computing to be a part of it. This class will survey
state-of-the-art research and current high performance design techniques,
with emphasis on quantitative analysis based on real-life examples and
scenarios. I am excited to be your guide and consultant for this
class, and I look forward to a stimulating semester working with you.
Sincerely,
Yujia Jin
