About this product

Product Information

The best-selling computer organization book is thoroughly updated to provide a new focus on the revolutionary change taking place in industry today: the switch from uniprocessor to multicore microprocessors. This new emphasis on parallelism is supported by updates reflecting the newest technologies, with examples highlighting the latest processor designs and benchmarking standards. As with previous editions, a MIPS processor is the core used to present the fundamentals of hardware technologies, assembly language, computer arithmetic, pipelining, memory hierarchies and I/O. Sections on the ARM and x86 architectures are also included. Covers the revolutionary change from sequential to parallel computing, with a new chapter on parallelism and sections in every chapter highlighting parallel hardware and software topics. Includes a new appendix by the Chief Scientist and the Director of Architecture of NVIDIA covering the emergence and importance of the modern GPU, describing in detail for the first time the highly parallel, highly multithreaded multiprocessor optimized for visual computing. Describes a novel approach to measuring multicore performance--the "Roofline model"--with benchmarks and analysis for the AMD Opteron X4, Intel Xeon 5000, Sun UltraSPARC T2, and IBM Cell. Includes new content on Flash memory and Virtual Machines. Provides a large, stimulating set of new exercises, covering almost 200 pages. Features the AMD Opteron X4 and Intel Nehalem as real-world examples throughout the book. Updates all processor performance examples using the SPEC CPU2006 suite.

Reviews
Patterson and Hennessy have greatly improved what was already the gold standard of textbooks. In the rapidly-evolving field of computer architecture, they have woven an impressive number of recent case studies and contemporary issues into a framework of time-tested fundamentals .--Fred Chong, University of California, Santa Barbara The new coverage of multiprocessors and parallelism lives up to the standards of this well-written classic. It provides well-motivated, gentle introductions to the new topics, as well as many details and examples drawn from current hardware .--John Greiner, Rice University

Book arrived in great shape and still had the unopened software/disk included. There are noted and highlighting in the book, but I expected as much from the honest description. The notes and highlighting are actually appreciated. Item was professionally and carefully packages and shipping was swift.

  • No MIPS table, Not useful as a textbook

    The book has no MISP table. It's not useful to get for any course textbook. It's just for having a reference. Of course the new version has different homework, test, assigments not same as this version. Mixed media is not useful also.

  • Wrong version, which is illegal to sell in the U.S.

    I received the wrong version. I was sold the ARM Edition, not the MIPS edition which led to a lot of confusing moments for the first couple weeks in class. It appears it is also Illegal to sell this book outside of Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, India, and Nepal. Shame on you...

  • Very good. Great value gor money.

    Arrived before expected time. Easy and simple to understand. Very useful in the understanding of networking. Samatex.

  • just a student

    The book make a lot of explanatory points about the different topics of computer architecture. I don't like how they don't provide answers to some of the questions at the end of the book. Good for class discussions.

  • Great Book

    I need the book for my computer structures class. I really like this book because its contents are very clear and understandable. This book helps people understand more about computers and how they work.
