“RISC architecture is gonna change everything.” Those absurdly geeky, incredibly prophetic words were spoken 30 years ago. Today, they’re somehow truer than ever.

Understand the architecture of a basic computer system and its components, and the role of performance in designing computer systems. Understand how to design and instruction set and its impact on ...

More recently, RISC-V could become a major computer architecture in Internet of Things (IoT) computing due to its openness. Yet, we still need a suitable computer architecture for the robotic age.

Data prefetching has emerged as a critical approach to mitigate the performance bottlenecks imposed by memory access latencies in modern computer architectures. By predicting the data likely to be ...
