Computer Organization and Design MIPS Edition

Emeritus Pardee Chair of Computer Science at the University of California, Berkeley, David A. Patterson His teaching has been recognized by the University of California's Distinguished Teaching Award, the ACM's Karlstrom Award, and the IEEE's Mulligan Education Medal and Undergraduate Teaching Award. Patterson received the IEEE Technical Achievement Award, the ACM Eckert-Mauchly Award, and the IEEE Johnson Information Storage Award for his contributions to RISC.

John L. Hennessy is a Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Stanford University, where he has been on the faculty since 1977 and served as the university's tenth President from 2000 to 2016. Prof. Hennessy is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, the National Academy of Science, the American Philosophical Society, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, as well as a Fellow of the IEEE and ACM.

The leading, award-winning Patterson and Hennessy textbook, Computer Organization and Design: The Hardware/Software Interface, Sixth Edition, is used by over 40,000 students per year and continues to provide the most comprehensive and readable introduction to this core computer science topic. The book is among the best books on computer hardware design. This new edition includes new sections on Domain Specific Architectures (DSA) in each chapter, as well as updates to all real-world examples to keep it fresh and relevant for a new generation of students.

• Parallelism is thoroughly covered, with examples and content highlighting parallel hardware and software topics.
• Each chapter now includes new sections on Domain Specific Architectures (DSA)
• Discusses and highlights computer architecture's "Eight Great Ideas," which include performance through parallelism, performance through pipelining, performance through prediction, design for Moore's Law, hierarchy of memories, abstraction to simplify design, make the common case fast, and dependability through redundancy.
