Winter 2023 - Really great graduate class on computer architecture. Will be enjoyable if you liked CS M151B, although it's more high-level and focuses on a historical / industry perspective of computing rather than only just low-level ideas. Prof. Nowatzki is also a good lecturer and very helpful overall. 10/10 would take again.
