This course examines fundamental issues and design trade-offs in modern processor architectures. We will discuss some of the constraints that limit the design and programmability of modern processors, ...

Every processor ever built contains an underlying “architecture,” representing deep-seated characteristics that transcend any single CPU core or physical design. This architecture defines how a ...

The British chip designer Arm Holdings Ltd. introduced a roadmap for its next-generation central processing unit architecture today. Its new breed of chips will be optimized for specialized workloads ...

From 2005 to 2017—the pre-AI era—the electricity flowing into U.S. data centers remained remarkably stable. This was true despite the explosive demand for cloud-based services. Social networks such as ...

The design, verification, and implementation of a processor is the core competence of some companies, but others just want to whip up a small processor as quickly and cheaply as possible. What tools ...

Data centers continue to heat up as new processors consume more energy than ever before. Cooling is the primary weapon against the heat these processors generate, but it won’t be able to keep up ...
