Description

The computing world these days is in the course of a revolution: mobile clients and cloud computing have emerged as the dominant paradigms driving programming and hardware innovation these days. The Fifth Edition of Computer Architecture makes a speciality of this dramatic shift, exploring the ways wherein software and technology within the cloud are accessed by cell phones, tablets, laptops, and other mobile computing devices. Every chapter includes two real-world examples, one mobile and one datacenter, to illustrate this revolutionary change.

  • Updated to cover the mobile computing revolution
  • Emphasizes the two most vital topics in architecture these days: memory hierarchy and parallelism in all its forms.
  • Develops common themes during Every chapter: power, performance, cost, dependability, protection, programming models, and emerging trends (“What’s Next”)
  • Includes three review appendices within the printed text. Additional reference appendices are to be had online.
  • Includes up to date Case Studies and completely new exercises.
