Wow. CS 3210 is in Rust now? That course contributed significantly to me getting my first real job. Back then we wrote Linux kernel modules.

I'll also have to say that the course labs look far more interesting than they were a decade ago. Implementing a new linux syscall to readtsc isn't particularly exciting...

CS 3210 & 6210 were my favorite undergrad courses.
Incredibly frustrating, but I learned more general concepts in each semester than in anything else.
I still remember trying to decide between 6210 and another elective. I asked Bill Leahy, who in typically efficiency replied, "Well, Tom Conte has a Porsche and a Ferrari." I figured that was a fair criteria in deciding who to learn from.

Bill Leahy and Tom Conte are god damn treasures to this world. I love them both.

Actually all the professors in COC can afford them because they got paid very well(Full professors in COC has 200k+)

Tom Conte’s graduate computer architecture course was a ton of fun and a lot of work!

I'm really impressed. When I took the course ~1.5 years ago it was still cribbing heavily from MIT OCW's OS course. Really nice to see the curriculum has changed (and more importantly been reduced)!

To be fair it seems like it's mostly doing the same still, just with Stanford's material instead :P
