While many computer professionals are well versed in software and general hardware concepts, the microprocessor tends to be the least well-understood hardware component. This session is a crash course on microprocessors starting with fundamentals (e.g., What is a transistor? What is logic design? What is an instruction pipeline?) and progressing through Moore's Law and industry trends, high-frequency design considerations, and the importance of synergistic software-hardware co-optimization.-David Hutton-IBM
