via David [SiT] Carter-Tod - Google's University Search:

Google offers free SiteSearch (enables users to search your university website) and optional WebSearch (enables users to search the Internet) to universities and educational organizations worldwide.

UC Berkeley is one of the early adopters and as one of my heroes - David Patterson - is a Professor at UCB an obvious thing to try was: UC Berkeley - Google Search Results

Searched pages from berkeley.edu for Computer Architecture. Results 1 - 10 of about 5,260. Search took 0.11 seconds.

Prof Patterson is teaching the Spring 2001 CS 252 - Graduate Computer Architecture class. One of the reason's I really like Prof Patterson's whole approach to teaching is summed up on that page and, in particular, ;-):

Lecture notes will be available in pdf and powerpoint formats, with 6 per page for pdf for conventinent (sic) printing.. (Powerpoint is for instructors who want to give lectures themselves based on CS 252. Note that I still use a Macintosh, so they were created in Office 98 Powerpoint--98, not 97--, in case that helps Microserfs.)

It's been a while since I migrated a version -- [52.225] CAD... -- of my final year honours class Computer Architecture and Design II into the second year of the CS degree at Strathclyde. CAD II was based on the excellent Patterson and Hennessy textbook - Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach which I see is in Beta draft, 3rd edition. Must try and get hold of a copy. I still have a copy of the hardback First Edition of the book autographed by David Patterson and John Hennessy when I went to visit them in California eight or nine years ago.
