Críticas

The choice of Real Stuff is judicious. The Computers in the Real World sections are interesting to read and should widen the horizons of the too often too tech-oriented Sophomores and Juniors. On the whole this is a very solid book and the success of the third edition is assured as has been the success of its two predecessors. Jean-Loup Baer, University of Washington I am very impressed with the new sections 'Computers in the Real World.' It is very interesting and speaks to the students who would like to feel a connection between classroom materials and real-world applications. I am very pleased with the manuscript for the third edition. This revision is well-updated and a comprehensive introduction to the hardware and software fundamentals. David Brooks, Harvard University The logical development and explanations and examples were always great to begin with. The Historical Perspectives have become even better-- they are part of the book that I enjoy most. David Harris, Harvey Mudd

Reseña del editor

In addition to thoroughly updating every aspect of the text to reflect the most current computing technology, the third edition uses standard 32-bit MIPS 32 as the primary teaching ISA. It presents the assembler-to-HLL translations in both C and Java. It highlights the latest developments in architecture in Real Stuff sections such as: Intel IA-32; Power PC 604; Googles PC cluster; Pentium P4; SPEC CPU2000 benchmark suite for processors; SPEC Web99 benchmark for web servers; EEMBC benchmark for embedded systems; AMD Opteron memory hierarchy; and AMD vs. 1A-64. It includes new support for distinct course goals, and many of the adopters who have used our book throughout its two editions are refining their courses with a greater hardware or software focus. We have provided new material to support these course goals: new material to support a Hardware Focus; using logic design conventions; designing with hardware description languages; advanced pipelining; designing with FPGAs; HDL simulators and tutorials; Xilinx CAD tools; new material to support a Software Focus; how compilers Work; how to optimize compilers; how to implement object oriented languages; MIPS simulator and tutorial; and history sections on programming languages, compilers, operating systems and databases. What's new in the "Third Edition"? There are new pedagogical features such as: Understanding Program Performance analyzes key performance issues from the programmers perspective; Check Yourself Questions helps students assess their understanding of key points of a section Computers; In the Real World illustrates the diversity of applications of computing technology beyond traditional desktop and servers; For More Practice provides students with additional problems they can tackle; In More Depth presents new information and challenging exercises for the advanced student. The new reference features highlighted glossary terms and definitions that appear on the book page, as bold-faced entries in the index, and as a separate and searchable reference on the CD. A complete index of the material in the book and on the CD appears in the printed index and the CD includes a fully searchable version of the same index. Historical Perspectives and Further Readings have been updated and expanded to include the history of software RandD. CD-Library provides materials collected from the web which directly support the text. It is on the CD CD-Bars. Full length sections that are introduced in the book and presented on the CD CD-Appendixes: The entire set of appendixes CD-Library; Materials collected from the web which directly support the text CD-Exercises: For More Practice provides exercises and solutions for self-study; In More Depth presents new information and challenging exercises for the advanced or curious student Glossary: Terms that are defined in the text are collected in this searchable reference; Further Reading: References are organized by the chapter they support Software: HDL simulators, MIPS simulators, and FPGA design tools; Tutorials: SPIM, Verilog, and VHDL; and Additional Support: Processor Models, Labs, Homeworks. Index covering the book and CD includes contents such as: Instructor Support - Instructor Support is provided in a password-protected site to adopters who request the password from our sales representative; Solutions to all the exercises; Figures from the book in a number of formats; Lecture slides prepared by the authors and other instructors; and Lecture notes For instructor resources click on the grey "companion site" button found on the right side of this page. This new edition represents a major revision. It includes features such as: entire Text has been updated to reflect new technology; 70 per cent new exercises; includes a CD loaded with software, projects and exercises to support courses using a number of tools; a new interior design presents defined terms in the margin for quick reference; a new feature, Understanding Program Performance focuses on performance from the programmers perspective; two sets of exercises and solutions, For More Practice and In More Depth, are included on the CD; Check Yourself questions help students check their understanding of major concepts; Computers In the Real World feature illustrates the diversity of uses for information technology; and more detail below.
