Sinopsis
Now in a new edition, this book provides an introduction to the nature of computer architecture and organization. It presents interesting problems with elegant solutions, with emphasis on the abstract elements of the problems common to all computer design. The author addresses the several schools of thought on what constitutes a 'good' computer architecture, focusing on the current RISC versus non-RISC approaches. He also discusses the downward drift of design sophistication to smaller machines, such as pipelines, caches, and overlapped I/O. Many examples of specific machines are included together with the design philosophy behind them.
