Computer Instruction Set Architectures

Computer Instruction Set Architectures

Computer architecture is the science and art of designing, implementing, and evaluating computer systems. It involves the study of the fundamental principles of computer hardware and software, as well as the design of new and innovative computing systems. In this comprehensive guide, we provide a detailed overview of computer instruction set architectures (ISAs), the foundation of modern computing systems. We cover a wide range of topics, from the basics of computer architecture to the latest advancements in parallel computing and embedded systems. **Key Features:** * In-depth coverage of the fundamental concepts of computer architecture, including the components of a computer system and the different types of ISAs. * Detailed exploration of instruction set design, including the different types of instructions, addressing modes, and instruction encoding schemes. * Comprehensive analysis of processor design, including the datapath and control unit, the arithmetic logic unit (ALU), the register file, and the cache memory. * Thorough discussion of memory systems, including the different types of memory, the memory hierarchy, and cache coherence. * Extensive coverage of input/output (I/O), including I/O devices and interfaces, programmed I/O and interrupt-driven I/O, direct memory access (DMA), and I/O virtualization. * In-depth exploration of parallel computing, including multicore processors, shared memory vs. distributed memory, the Message Passing Interface (MPI), OpenMP, and CUDA. * Comprehensive analysis of embedded systems, including embedded system architecture, real-time operating systems (RTOS), power management in embedded systems, embedded system security, and applications of embedded systems. * Detailed discussion of computer networks, including network architecture and protocols, the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP), wireless networks, network security, and cloud computing. * Thorough exploration of operating systems, including the different types of operating systems, process management, memory management, file systems, and security and protection. * In-depth analysis of future trends in computer architecture, including quantum computing, neuromorphic computing, optical computing, DNA computing, and green computing. **Target Audience:** * Computer science students and researchers * Software engineers and developers * Hardware engineers and designers * IT professionals and enthusiasts Whether you are a seasoned professional or a student just starting out, this book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of computer instruction set architectures, essential knowledge for anyone working in the field of computer science or engineering.

Reduced Instruction Set Computer--RISC--architecture

Computer Architecture

The era of seemingly unlimited growth in processor performance is over: single chip architectures can no longer overcome the performance limitations imposed by the power they consume and the heat they generate. Today, Intel and other semiconductor firms are abandoning the single fast processor model in favor of multi-core microprocessors--chips that combine two or more processors in a single package. In the fourth edition of Computer Architecture, the authors focus on this historic shift, increasing their coverage of multiprocessors and exploring the most effective ways of achieving parallelism as the key to unlocking the power of multiple processor architectures. Additionally, the new edition has expanded and updated coverage of design topics beyond processor performance, including power, reliability, availability, and dependability.
