{"product_id":"9783031180224","title":"Guide to Computer Processor Architecture : A RISC-V Approach, with High-Level Synthesis by Bernard Goossens","description":"This unique, accessible textbook presents a succession of implementations of the open-source RISC-V processor.? Implementations are offered in increasing difficulty (non-pipelined, pipelined, deeply pipelined,?multi-threaded, multicore).   Each implementation is shown as a High-Level Synthesis (HLS) code?in C++.??This facilitates synthesis and testing?on an FPGA-based?development board (Such a board can be freely obtained from the Xilinx?University Program targeting university professors).   The book can be useful for several reasons. First, it is a novel way to?introduce computer architecture: The codes given can serve as labs?for a processor architecture course. Second, the book content is based?on the RISC-V Instruction Set Architecture, which is an open-source?machine language promising to become the main machine language to be taught,?replacing DLX and MIPS. Third, all the designs are implemented through?the HLS tool, which is able to translate a C program into?an intellectual property (IP).? Lastly,?HLS will become the new standard for IP implementations, replacing Verilog\/VHDL; already there are job positions tied to HLS, with the argument of rapid IP development.   Hence, in addition to offering undergraduates a firm introduction, the textbook\/guide can also serve engineers willing?to implement processors on FPGA, as well as researchers willing to develop?RISC-V based hardware simulators.   Bernard Goossens?is Professor in the Faculty of Sciences at the Universit? de Perpignan, France.? He is author of the French-language book from Springer,?Architecture et microarchitecture des processeurs, 2002.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56309605368181,"sku":"9783031180224","price":49.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9783031180224.jpg?v=1762812534","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9783031180224","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
