From NAND to Tetris is probably the most popular

You can also try searching for classes entitled "Advanced Computer Architecture" like so:

Udacity courses on high performance computing are good MOOCs [1][2]. Also MIT's Computation Structures course [3] covers some quantitative performance modeling.
