The SIMD and kernel ones sound promising. Does the course have a website? Thanks.

Sadly no, they moved all courses to a private platform, but we used a lot of external resources not too much of our own except the exercises.

The kernel development one was pretty much what you can find in the Intel Manuals + osdev wiki [1] or some of the many osdev tutorials [2].

For SIMD I'm not aware of good tutorials or books, we did use again Intel manuals for reference and also [3]. For the image filters I assume you can search algorithms for basic filters such as pixelate, edges, etc. expressed as matrix operations and see how you can write that as SIMD ops.
