ARM Assembly Language: Fundamentals and Techniques, Third Edition explains in clear terms how ARM processors are programmed at the most fundamental level. While earlier editions covered much older architectures, the Third Edition moves entirely into the Cortex-M space, using the Armv8-M instruction set to illustrate how assembly code for the most modern Arm processors is written. Even if you are writing in JavaScript, Python, C++, C#, or Rust, these high-level programming language...

Computer Organization and Design, Fourth Edition, has been updated with new exercises and improvements throughout suggested by instructors teaching from the book.

It includes an appendix by the Chief Scientist and the Director of Architecture of NVIDIA covering the emergence and importance of the modern GPU...

The new RISC-V Edition of Computer Organization and Design features the RISC-V open source instruction set architecture, the first open source architecture designed to be used in modern computing environments such as cloud computing, mobile devices, and other embedded systems. With the post-PC era now upon us, Computer Organization and Design moves forward to explore this generational change with examples, exercises, and material highlighting the emergence of mobile computing and the Cloud...

CUDA is a computing architecture designed to facilitate the development of parallel programs. In conjunction with a comprehensive software platform, the CUDA Architecture enables programmers to draw on the immense power of graphics processing units (GPUs) when building high-performance applications. GPUs, of course, have long been available for demanding graphics and game applications. CUDA now brings this valuable resource to programmers working on applications in other domains, including...
