The document outlines the requirements for a 2-page research paper on computer architecture. It specifically mentions discussing concepts such as CISC, RISC, pipelining, and parallel processing. Additionally, it requires the use of two non-wikipedia resources, which must be listed in a reference section at the end of the paper.

1. Write a 2 page research paper (excluding the title page) on
computer architecture, and discuss CISC, RISC, pipelining, and
parallel processing.
In addition to textbook, use two other resources (Wikipedia
sources are not permitted) and list each resource used at the end
of paper in the reference list section.
