About this product

Product Information

The era of seemingly unlimited growth in processor performance is over: single chip architectures can no longer overcome the performance limitations imposed by the power they consume and the heat they generate. Today, Intel and other semiconductor firms are abandoning the single fast processor model in favor of multi-core microprocessors--chips that combine two or more processors in a single package. In the fourth edition of Computer Architecture , the authors focus on this historic shift, increasing their coverage of multiprocessors and exploring the most effective ways of achieving parallelism as the key to unlocking the power of multiple processor architectures. Additionally, the new edition has expanded and updated coverage of design topics beyond processor performance, including power, reliability, availability, and dependability. Increased coverage on achieving parallelism with multiprocessors. Case studies of latest technology from industry including the Sun Niagara Multiprocessor, AMD Opteron, and Pentium 4. Three review appendices, included in the printed volume, review the basic and intermediate principles the main text relies upon.

"If Neil Armstrong offers to give you a tour of the lunar module, or Tiger Woods asks you to go play golf with him, you should do it.

Can not find the item. Ask me to wait. I paid 1st Class Postage. Why pay for faster 1st Class mailing when the item would arrive late and not on time as a STORE"? Seems this person does not care about others. I came to tthesotre in good faith. Now, no replies, but, stalling.

  • Best book for Computer Arch.

    This book is pretty good. It has good examples and the authors explain the techniques used for all of the material very well. Highly recommended.

  • I am not happy

    please be specific on the edition you wanna buy. I bought a higher edition thinking that all topics in the lower edition(Which i want) will be covered. but iam screwed. the lower edition book has a total of 600 pages but the one i bought has only 300 pages. most of the topics are shortened and I am totally screwed. Buy the edition which you want

  • Good Book

    This book is excellent. Really Useful.. Concepts are properly explained.. This book is for graduate level courses..

  • Good condition book

    I bought Computer Architecture Andrea C. Arpaci-Dusseau and others. The book was a good read for the information I was looking for. Serves an excellent book for the computer architecture course that I plan do for my masters.

  • Good Book

    The book helps me with me graduate school class. I dislike the fact that their aren't better examples of the problems in each section.
