This textbook captures the latest developments in the field of computer architecture. It is targeted towards senior undergraduate students, graduate students, and industry professionals. It starts from simple in-order processors and proceeds to cover the most elaborate techniques in out-of-order (OOO) processor design that comprise the state of the art. The book also thoroughly covers GPUs and multicore technologies including the design of modern memory systems. Nonvolatile memory technologies and the ddr-4 protocol are discussed in detail. The last part of the book covers latest advances in power/temperature modelling and management, reliability, process variation, hardware security, and the design of AI/ML accelerators. \nSalient features: \n\n1) In-depth coverage of modern OOO pipelines and GPUs. \n\n2) Chapter 5- Alternative Approaches to Issue and Commit, Chapter 11- Power and Temperature & Chapter 12- Reliability are available online. These chapters and Bibliography can be accessed by using scratch code mentioned on back inner cover. \n\n3) Detailed description of the theoretical fundamentals underlying caches, NoCs, and memory models. \n\n4) Latest developments in the field of nonvolatile memories, reliability, and temperature modelling. \n\n5) Radically novel approach for introducing the concepts used to design AI/ML accelerators. \n\n6) Pedagogy: exercises – 193 | illustrations – 416.
