The book delves into parallelism, offering comprehensive examples and content that focus on both hardware and software aspects. Each chapter features new sections on Domain Specific Architectures (DSA), enhancing the discussion. It emphasizes the "Eight Great Ideas" of computer architecture, which include strategies for improving performance through parallelism, pipelining, prediction, and design considerations like Moore's Law, memory hierarchy, abstraction, optimizing common cases, and ensuring dependability through redundancy.

Focusing on the RISC-V open source instruction set architecture, this edition offers a thorough introduction to computer organization and design, appealing to over 40,000 students annually. It emphasizes modern computing applications, including cloud and mobile environments, while providing a user-friendly format. An online companion website enhances the learning experience with additional resources such as advanced content, appendices, a glossary, references, and links to software tools, making it a valuable resource for both students and educators.

A new edition of the best-selling title, considered for over a decade to be essential reading for every serious student and practitioner of computer design Computer Architecture has been updated throughout to address the most important trends facing computer designers today. In this edition, the authors bring their trademark method of quantitative analysis not only to high performance desktop machine design, but also to the design of embedded and server systems. They have illustrated their principles with designs from all three of these domains, including examples from consumer electronics, multimedia and web technologies, and high performance computing. Presents state-of-the-art design examples Updates all the examples and figures with the most recent benchmarks, such as SPEC 2000. Expands coverage of instruction sets to include descriptions of digital signal processors, media processors, and multimedia extensions to desktop processors The book retains its highly rated features: Fallacies and Pitfalls, Historical Perspectives, Putting it all Together, Worked Examples and Cross-Cutting Issues A new feature, Another View, presents brief design examples in one of the three domains

This text demonstrates the relationships between the software and hardware and focuses on the fundamental concepts that are the basis for current computer design. The authors present the idea from its first principles, incrementally adding complexity through a series of worked examples.

Studierende der Informatik und Ingenieurwissenschaften finden hier zentrale Konzepte zum Aufbau und Entwurf von Rechnern ausführlich erklärt, unterstützt durch zahlreiche Beispiele. Das Werk vermittelt ein fundiertes Verständnis des Zusammenspiels zwischen Hardware und Software auf verschiedenen Ebenen. Es behandelt umfassend die Rechnerorganisation, beginnend mit dem Aufbau von Computern, einer Einführung in die Maschinensprache und Rechnerarithmetik, bis hin zu Faktoren, die die Rechenleistung beeinflussen, sowie dem Entwurf von Steuerwerk und Datenpfad. Zudem wird die Leistungssteigerung durch Pipelining und die Speicherhierarchie thematisiert. Zwei Kapitel zu Ein- und Ausgabesystemen sowie Multiprozessoren und Cluster-Computing runden das Angebot ab. Besondere Merkmale sind Fallstudien zu aktuellen Pentium-Implementierungen und dem Google-PC-Cluster, ein exklusives Kapitel zu Multiprozessoren in der deutschen Ausgabe, sowie Glossar-Begriffe, Verständnisfragen und Zusammenfassungen. Für Dozenten gibt es Zugang zu zusätzlichen Materialien wie Vorlesungsfolien und Lösungen zu allen Übungen.
