DESCRIPTION:The teaching of the inter-related areas of computer architectur
 e\, computer organization\, and computer systems is at a crossroads\, one 
 that could lead to another pedagogical (r)evolution. The first revolution 
 occurred in the early 1990s\, spurred by research in the 1980s that re-vis
 ited RISC architectures and resulting in the seminal book entitled "Comput
 er Architecture: A Quantitative Approach" in 1989 and its subsequent prequ
 el book entitled "Computer Organization and Design: The Hardware/Software 
 Interface" in 1993\, both centered around the MIPS instruction set archite
 cture (ISA). By the 2000s\, many institutions in higher education transiti
 oned their traditional course on operating systems concepts to a hands-on 
 computer systems curriculum based on the CISC x86-64 ISA\, as captured by 
 the seminal book entitled "Computer Systems: A Programmer’s Perspective.
 " While these books have served as exemplars for their respective areas\, 
 one might argue that the use of disparate ISAs – MIPS versus x86-64 – 
 serves as an unnecessary learning impediment and source of confusion. A po
 tential solution to this problem would be to align the teaching of all the
 se inter-related areas with the MIPS ISA entirely or x86-64 ISA entirely\;
  however\, the former has limited real-world deployment while the latter i
 s closed (and unnecessarily complex\, i.e.\, CISC). In contrast\, the POWE
 R architecture is open source and enjoys widespread deployment\, including
  two of the fastest supercomputers in the world (i.e.\, Sierra at Lawrence
  Livermore National Lab and Summit at Oak Ridge National Lab). For these r
 easons\, we envision a vertically integrated curriculum from hardware to s
 ystems software based on the POWER instruction set architecture.
