This book presents the latest developments in processor and system architecture, featuring examples from the RISC-V (RISC Five) instruction set architecture, a modern RISC instruction set developed and designed to be a free and openly adoptable standard. It also covers domain-specific architectures and warehouse-scale computing that features the first public information on Google's newest WSC.
