A no-nonsense, practical guide to current and future processor and
computer architectures that enables you to design computer systems
and develop better software applications across a variety of
domains Key Features Understand digital circuitry through the study
of transistors, logic gates, and sequential logic Learn the
architecture of x86, x64, ARM, and RISC-V processors, iPhones, and
high-performance gaming PCs Study the design principles underlying
the domains of cybersecurity, bitcoin, and self-driving cars Book
DescriptionAre you a software developer, systems designer, or
computer architecture student looking for a methodical introduction
to digital device architectures, but are overwhelmed by the
complexity of modern systems? This step-by-step guide will teach
you how modern computer systems work with the help of practical
examples and exercises. You'll gain insights into the internal
behavior of processors down to the circuit level and will
understand how the hardware executes code developed in high-level
languages. This book will teach you the fundamentals of computer
systems including transistors, logic gates, sequential logic, and
instruction pipelines. You will learn details of modern processor
architectures and instruction sets including x86, x64, ARM, and
RISC-V. You will see how to implement a RISC-V processor in a
low-cost FPGA board and write a quantum computing program and run
it on an actual quantum computer. This edition has been updated to
cover the architecture and design principles underlying the
important domains of cybersecurity, blockchain and bitcoin mining,
and self-driving vehicles. By the end of this book, you will have a
thorough understanding of modern processors and computer
architecture and the future directions these technologies are
likely to take. What you will learn Understand the fundamentals of
transistor technology and digital circuits Explore the concepts
underlying pipelining and superscalar processing Implement a
complete RISC-V processor in a low-cost FPGA Understand the
technology used to implement virtual machines Learn about
security-critical computing applications like financial transaction
processing Get up to speed with blockchain and the hardware
architectures used in bitcoin mining Explore the capabilities of
self-navigating vehicle computing architectures Write a quantum
computing program and run it on a real quantum computer Who this
book is forThis book is for software developers, computer
engineering students, system designers, reverse engineers, and
anyone looking to understand the architecture and design principles
underlying modern computer systems: ranging from tiny, embedded
devices to warehouse-size cloud server farms. A general
understanding of computer processors is helpful but not required.
