Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach, 3/e(精裝本)

Description

This best-selling title (over 60,000 units sold!), considered for over a decade to be essential reading for every serious student and practitioner of computer design, has been updated throughout to address the most important trends facing computer designers today.  
 
In this edition, the authors bring their trademark method of quantitative analysis not only to high-performance desktop machine design, but also to the design of embedded and server systems. They have illustrated their principles with designs from all three of these domains, including examples from consumer electronics, multimedia and Web technologies, and high-performance computing.
