This used copy of Computer Organization and Design: The Hardware/Software Interface, 5th Edition in English offers a comprehensive introduction to computer architecture, preparing readers for the evolving performance demands of mobile systems and big data processing. In an era where semiconductor scaling presents power constraints, this edition emphasizes the crucial co-design of hardware and software, with system-level architecture being as vital as component-level optimizations. Moving into the post-PC era, the Fifth Edition of Computer Organization and Design features new examples, exercises, and material that highlight the rise of mobile computing and the Cloud. This generational shift is explored through updated content covering tablet computers, cloud infrastructure, and the ARM (for mobile computing) and x86 (for cloud computing) architectures. As in prior editions, a MIPS processor serves as the core for presenting fundamental concepts, including hardware technologies, assembly language, computer arithmetic, pipelining, memory hierarchies, and I/O. Key features of this Fifth Edition include: In-depth coverage of parallelism, with examples and content focused on parallel hardware and software topics. Real-world examples such as the Intel Core i7, ARM Cortex-A8, and NVIDIA Fermi GPU integrated throughout the book. A new, concrete example, “Going Faster,” demonstrating how hardware understanding can drive software optimizations that yield up to a 200% performance improvement. Discussions and highlights of the “Eight Great Ideas of computer architecture”: Performance via Parallelism, Performance via Pipelining, Performance via Prediction, Design for Moore’s Law, Hierarchy of Memories, Abstraction to Simplify Design, Make the Common Case Fast, and Dependability via Redundancy. A complete set of updated and enhanced exercises.
