Chapter 13: Domain-Specific Computer Architectures

This chapter brings together the topics discussed in previous chapters to develop an approach for architecting a computer system designed to meet unique user requirements. We will build upon this approach to gain an understanding of the user-level requirements and performance capabilities associated with several different categories of real-world computer systems.

This chapter will cover the following topics:

  • Architecting computer systems to meet unique requirements
  • Smartphone architecture
  • Personal computer architecture
  • Warehouse-scale computing architecture
  • Neural networks and machine learning architectures
