Description

Computer Organization and Design, Fifth Edition, is the up to date update to the classic introduction to computer organization. The text now contains new examples and material highlighting the emergence of mobile computing and the cloud. It explores this generational change with up to date content featuring tablet computers, cloud infrastructure, and the ARM (mobile computing devices) and x86 (cloud computing) architectures. The book uses a MIPS processor core to present the fundamentals of hardware technologies, assembly language, computer arithmetic, pipelining, memory hierarchies and I/O.Because an understanding of modern hardware is very important to achieving good performance and energy efficiency, this edition adds a new concrete example, Going Faster, used during the text to demonstrate extremely effective optimization techniques. There could also be a new discussion of the Eight Great Ideas of computer architecture. Parallelism is examined in depth with examples and content highlighting parallel hardware and software topics. The book features the Intel Core i7, ARM Cortex-A8 and NVIDIA Fermi GPU as real-world examples, in conjunction with a full set of up to date and improved exercises.

This new edition is a perfect resource for professional digital system designers, programmers, application developers, and system software developers. It’s going to also be of interest to undergraduate students in Computer Science, Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering courses in Computer Organization, Computer Design, ranging from Sophomore required courses to Senior Electives.
