At Georgia Tech I had one class (CS 2110) that dealt with implementing a simple in-order non-pipelined processor, one class that dealt with implementing a pipelined processor (CS 2210), then two classes (CS 4290 and CS 3220 IIRC) that dealt with implementing an out-of-order processor (4290 was more theory and also covered caches; 3220 was entirely implementing it on an FPGA). So, that sort of thing does exist, but IDK if most universities will let you take single classes like that



That sounds like a great sequence! Offhand, I don’t think there were any OOO microprocessors when I did computer architecture at Tech (Go Jackets!)
