VLSI and Computer Architecture 1st Edition by Kenzo Watanabe ISBN 1612098835 9781612098838

VLSI and Computer Architecture by Kenzo Watanabe is a foundational text that bridges the gap between the design of very-large-scale integration (VLSI) circuits and the architectural principles of modern computers. This first edition offers a comprehensive introduction to the principles and techniques essential for designing efficient, high-performance computer systems at the hardware level. Covering topics from the fundamentals of digital logic design and semiconductor technology to advanced architectural concepts, the book equips readers with the knowledge needed to understand and innovate in both chip design and computer architecture. It is particularly valuable for students, researchers, and professionals seeking an integrated perspective on how hardware and architecture come together in contemporary computing systems.
