Modern Computer Architecture & Organization • Jim Ledin & Maciej «MJ» Jedrzejewski • GOTO 2026

Why watch

This GOTO Book Club interview discusses the new GPU and LLM chapters in the 3rd edition of 'Modern Computer Architecture and Organization'. Jim Ledin explains his approach of teaching durable architectural principles (parallelism, memory bandwidth, tensor processing) rather than chasing fleeting hardware details. For the LLM chapter, he uses GPT-2 as a teaching example because it's open-source and traceable. Ideal for software architects and developers wanting to understand hardware fundamentals for ML/AI systems.
