Computer architecture : a quantitative approach

Hennessy, John L.

Computer architecture : a quantitative approach - 4th ed. - Amsterdam Morgan Kauffman Pub. 2007 - xxvvii, 423 p. Include bibliographical references and index

Through four editions of this book, our goal has been to describe the basic princi-ples underlying what will be tomorrow's technological developments. Our excitement about the opportunities in computer architecture has not abated, and we echo what we said about the field in the first edition: It is not a dreary science of paper machines that will never work. No! It's a discipline of keen intellectual interest, requiring the balance of marketplace forces to cost-performance-power, leading to glorious failures and some notable successes.
