TITLE      Pentium System Architecture
COURSE#    CN18740C
DURATION   3 Days
DESCRIPTION  This course provides complete coverage of the P54C (Pentium
           90/100MHz) processors. It also details the operation of the Pentium
           60/66MHz and Pentium 75MHz processors. Students will learn how these
           Pentium processors operate internally and how to take advantage of
           their features, when designing systems and writing software.
OBJECTIVE    After completing this course, you should be able to:
           -   Describe Pentium bus transactions and timing
           -   Describe methods for optimizing hardware designs
           -   Identify Pentium System Architecture problems and implement
               solutions
CONTENTS     -   Dual-processor operation
             -   APIC operation
             -   Optimizing code for the dual pipelines
             -   Undocumented Pentium features
             -   The host bus interface
             -   SMM design issues, and more
PREREQ.      Before taking this course, you should be able to:
           -   Describe the ISA, or MCA bus architectures
             These skills can be developed by taking a system architecture level
           course based on either the Industry Standard Architecture, or
           Micro-channel Architecture or equivalent
AUDIENCE     This course is primarily intended for system design engineers,
           programmers and technicians.
