Synopsis:
This update of the popular book on computer architecture presents design ideas embodied in many high-performance machines and stresses techniques for evaluating them. Stone develops a proper understanding of the design process by treating the various trade-offs that exist in designing choices, and shows how good designs make efficient use of technology. This new edition details the latest developments with high-performance machines; including enhanced descriptions of RISC processors. The material on Cache Memory Analysis has been expanded and additional memory models and techniques for doing Cache design have also been included.
From the Back Cover: design ideas embodied in many high-performance machines and stresses techniques for evaluating them. Stone develops a proper understanding of the design process by treating the various trade-offs that exist in designing choices, and shows how good designs make efficient use of technology. Features Teaches techniques for the design and analysis of high-performance machines Develops students' intuition for design by treating various tradeoffs that exist in design choices Discusses many important topics: RISC architectures, interconnection meshes, Cache coherent and multiprocessors, and Cache Memory. Includes enhanced descriptions of RISC Processors Expands material on Cache Memory Analysis Current technology in RISC with a focused look on super scalar Additional memory models and techniques for doing Cache design New porposals for coherent memory systems in System C parallel processors Both design and thought problems and problems with limiting parameters are provided
