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. Review: An in depth look at the modern architecture of computers. - 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. Review: Very informative - 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. ## Features - Item Trademark: PACKT PUBLISHING - manufacturer: Packt Publishing Limited - Item Weight: pounds, pounds, 2.09, 2.09 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 93 Reviews | ## Images ![Packt Modern Computer Architecture and Organization: Learn x86, ARM, and RISC-V architectures and the design of smartphones, PCs, and cloud servers - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Uijp7FHwL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An in depth look at the modern architecture of computers. *by A***T on 1 October 2020* A great, "in depth" look at central processing unit (cpu) design.

Really hard to read if you're new to the subject like myself because of all the specialized vocabulary (each thing has it's own name and reading 5 pages will take you 30 minutes) but if you make the effort there's a lot of very interesting content to be discovered. Just one thing : there could have been a lot more sketches and diagrams (it's almost all written in sentences) to ease the understanding. I recommend to watch videos on the same subject in parallel of reading the book to clarify everything. Anyway, thank you very much to sir Ledin for the work and for sharing his knowledge. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/294065576-packt-modern-computer-architecture-and-organization-learn-x86-arm-risc](https://www.desertcart.no/products/294065576-packt-modern-computer-architecture-and-organization-learn-x86-arm-risc) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
