A no-nonsense, practical guide to current and future processor and
computer architectures, enabling you to design computer systems and
develop better software applications across a variety of domains
Key Features Understand digital circuitry with the help of
transistors, logic gates, and sequential logic Examine the
architecture and instruction sets of x86, x64, ARM, and RISC-V
processors Explore the architecture of modern devices such as the
iPhone X and high-performance gaming PCs Book DescriptionAre you a
software developer, systems designer, or computer architecture
student looking for a methodical introduction to digital device
architectures but overwhelmed by their complexity? This book will
help you to learn how modern computer systems work, from the lowest
level of transistor switching to the macro view of collaborating
multiprocessor servers. You'll gain unique insights into the
internal behavior of processors that execute the code developed in
high-level languages and enable you to design more efficient and
scalable software systems. The book will teach you the fundamentals
of computer systems including transistors, logic gates, sequential
logic, and instruction operations. 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 how to write a quantum computing
program and run it on an actual quantum computer. By the end of
this book, you will have a thorough understanding of modern
processor and computer architectures and the future directions
these architectures are likely to take. What you will learn Get to
grips with transistor technology and digital circuit principles
Discover the functional elements of computer processors Understand
pipelining and superscalar execution Work with floating-point data
formats Understand the purpose and operation of the supervisor mode
Implement a complete RISC-V processor in a low-cost FPGA Explore
the techniques used in virtual machine implementation Write a
quantum computing program and run it on a 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 from tiny embedded devices to
warehouse-size cloud server farms. A general understanding of
computer processors is helpful but not required.
