Computer Architecture

Dear Students, 

Please use the  Mattermost invitation link under materials (https://cms.cispa.saarland/comparch_s26/materials). 

Please contact your mentors on this Mattermost server, create channels for your presentations, and keep the discussion on your channel alive, so that the brainstorming can continue after your in-person session.

Thanks,

Giray

Dear Students,

Paper assignments, session schedule, and your assigned mentors are listed on the main page of the course website. https://cms.cispa.saarland/comparch_s26/
