How to Use This Course
Study order, review posture, and practical cadence for GPU architecture and silicon closure.
Study order
Start with SIMT and occupancy fundamentals before deep microarchitecture tuning.
Build memory and scheduler intuition before broad optimization claims.
Study graphics/compute and interconnect tradeoffs for system-level decisions.
Close with physical design, verification, and bring-up for release readiness.

WORKLOAD -> BOTTLENECK -> MECHANISM -> ARTIFACT -> OWNER -> DECISION
1. Which workload or scene is failing, and which metric moved first?
2. Which mechanism explains the movement (SIMT, scheduler, memory, fabric, thermal)?
3. Which artifact proves the hypothesis?
4. Which owner applies the minimal reversible fix?
5. Which validation matrix and rollback gate close risk?
