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.
