The first of its kind, this succinct book combines the detailed logic of computer architecture and microprocessor design with numerous examples of Verilog HDL, an industrially important hardware design language. Fundamental and advanced level design concepts are illustrated using simulations that readers can readily duplicate. Its comprehensive contents also include circuit design in HDL, computer arithmetic algorithms, design challenges, memory management, multi–core CPU design, as well as high–performance computers and complex networks.
