T his book is designed with the goal of providing a comprehensive understanding of digital logic design and computer organization in a single textbook. In addition, the book contains an entire chapter on computer architecture for security.

The book covers both the fundamentals of digital logic design and design with the Verilog hardware description language. Separate chapters are allocated to cover design methodologies of simple and complex combinational and sequential circuits. Modern tools and methodology for circuit design are discussed in general, and Verilog examples illustrate only the basic and synthesizable features of the language. If desired, instructors may choose to use VHDL instead. However, the book does not require using a hardware description language.

The book covers memory organization, processing core and processor organization, and computer security through hardware. As advancements in technologies and demand for high-speed and low-power designs have changed the fundamentals of computer organization, an attempt is made to provide not only simple examples to illustrate basic design concepts, but also provide an understanding of modern computer design objectives.

The book also covers computer architecture concepts from instruction set architecture, including the architecture for secure execution, pipelining and parallelism, and memory hierarchy. An attempt is made to provide numerous examples that illustrate the applications of pipelining and parallelism to increase concurrency and reduce or hide latency (two factors that affect performance). Program code examples are also used to illustrate the link between CPU architecture and a compiler and between programing methodologies and performance.

There are 11 chapters in this book. An overview of digital systems, innovations in computing, number systems, digital logic design, and computer organization/architecture and security is given in .

covers methodologies used to design large combinational circuits and introduces integer and floating-point computer arithmetic and also presents design examples.

covers single-cycle, multicycle, and pipelined data paths and controls. Design examples illustrate data path and FSM-based, microprogrammed, and pipelined control unit organizations. Several data path design examples, including for unsigned and signed multiplication and two-dimensional virtual object rotation, are also presented.

is dedicated to memory and covers memory technologies, including SDRAM technologies, and memory design, including interleaving and multichannel. Memory communication protocols, performance, and uniform memory access (UMA) and nonuniform memory access (NUMA) organizations are also presented. Examples of programing methodologies to take advantage of a NUMA organization to improve performance are also discussed.

covers CPU design, from single-cycle and pipeline, to reduced instruction set computer (RISC), deep pipelining, and branch prediction, to static and dynamic instruction-level parallelism (ILP), to multithreading. The chapter includes design and simulation of CPU data path examples and presents program code examples to illustrate compiler optimization to improve performance, branch prediction, ILP, and multithreading.
