Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach by John L. Hennessy 3rd edition

Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach
Publisher: Morgan Kaufmann | ISBN: 0123704901 | edition 2007 | PDF | 705 pages | 10,7 mb

The era of seemingly unlimited growth in processor performance is over: single chip architectures can no longer overcome the performance limitations imposed by the power they consume and the heat they generate. Today, Intel and other semiconductor firms are abandoning the single fast processor model in favor of multi-core microprocessors--chips that combine two or more processors in a single package. In the fourth edition of Computer Architecture, the authors focus on this historic shift, increasing their coverage of multiprocessors and exploring the most effective ways of achieving parallelism as the key to unlocking the power of multiple processor architectures. Additionally, the new edition has expanded and updated coverage of design topics beyond processor performance, including power, reliability, availability, and dependability.
