Ask HN: How to learn Computer Architecture design?
Hello! Long time lurker here.
I have a question, as a first year EE student who is not in a top university (and in a third world country), how could I prepare for a Computer Architecture design position in the far future? What are the best resources to learn? What should I focus on? I realize that I will need a PhD and a lot of experience; I am asking for the things that I should do now to begin the journey.
I tried to search the web, however I could not find much.
Thank you in advance.
- triyambakam 6y agoI am a SWE so I don't do computer architecture design professionally but I have found Professor Onur Mutlu's lectures on Youtube very interesting and helpful.

- lioeters 6y agoIf I were in your shoes, I'd search for books and online courses. Here's a couple I found on GitHub: Modern Computer Architecture and Organization - https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Modern-Computer-Architecture-and-Organization https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Modern-Computer-Architect... Introduction To 80x86 Assembly Language And Computer Architecture - Richard C. Detmer - https://github.com/abhinavkorpal/awesome-computer-science-EBook/raw/master/AssemblyLanguages/Introduction%20To%2080x86%20Assembly%20Language%20And%20Computer%20Architecture%20-%20Richard%20C.%20Detmer.pdf https://github.com/abhinavkorpal/awesome-computer-science-EB...

- M277 6y agoThank you very much! These books are great. I found some well-regarded online courses, but they had some prerequisites that I needed to study, so I am working on that.
- wtt604 6y agoLook at fabien sanglards website. https://fabiensanglard.net/ https://fabiensanglard.net/ he talks very informatively about a lot of different computer stuff. A lot from the 16 bit era. I would imagine you'd fine it interesting and informative
- M277 6y agoYes, that's a great resource. Thank you very much!
