## Description

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 Description
Are 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 for
This 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.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An in depth look at the modern architecture of computers.
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 1 October 2020*

A great, "in depth" look at central processing unit (cpu) design.This book is aimed more at the Academic student in their first/second year.This book is well written and explains the voncepts and ideas in a " easy-to-follow" style.This book can be used by, not just students, but anybody eith a keen interest in Modern Computer Architecture, Design, and Organization.Well worth a slot in any computer science students' or computer enthusiasts book shelf.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ So far so good.
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 21 June 2020*

Only part of the way through it so will write a proper review when finished. As a basic overall introduction its great. Covers a large area. The pra rival exercises are really good.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very informative
*by  on Reviewed in the United States 17 June 2022*

This book is structured very well, it allows you to read a particular section with out having to know much about other sections. Everything is explained in detail and with simple examples and illustrations to help you visualize the concepts. After reading this book, you’ll definitely have a strong understanding of what is going on at the hardware level of computers. It will also provide you with tips and insights on how to write code that takes advantage of the architecture in a modern computer to optimize performance.
