Modern architecture and computers. 2nd edition, processed and supplemented. Ladyin J.

The book is devoted to the architecture and principles of the work of modern digital devices: computers, smartphones, cloud servers. The architecture of processors and sets of instructions X86, X64, ARM IRISC-V are examined in detail. The internal device of the processor, logical valves, triggers, registers, conveyors are described, the addressing modes, interruption processing are shown, the basics of machine logic, methods for increasing the computational performance of processors are presented.

The example of the development of the RISC-VN processor is given for the inexpensive FPGA (PLIS). The principles of virtualization and technologies underlying virtual machines are described, architectural solutions are considered to ensure cybersecurity and confidentiality of calculations. Attention is paid to specialized computer architects: cloud servers, mobile devices, processors for neural networks and machine learning, blockchain and mining, unmanned vehicles. In a practical example, quantum calculations are shown, other promising areas in computing architectures are considered.

for programmers, engineers and system architects.
