Computer architecture is the art and science of meeting the performance, power, energy, temperature, reliability, and accuracy goals of software, ranging from large-scale AI and cloud services to safety-critical embedded services, by composing principled and well-abstracted hardware that harnesses the latest in VLSI technology and trends. As Moore’s Law and Dennard scaling wane, the question of how best to continue building principled and programmable hardware that can meet the ever-increasing computational needs of next-generation AI in large-scale data centers and edge/embedded settings is vital to the continued success of the computer sciences.
