The best-selling computer organization book is thoroughly updated to provide a new focus on the revolutionary change taking place in industry today: the switch from uniprocessor to multicore microprocessors. This new emphasis on parallelism is supported by updates reflecting the newest technologies, with examples highlighting the latest processor designs and benchmarking standards. As with previous editions, a MIPS processor is the core used to present the fundamentals of hardware technologies, assembly language, computer arithmetic, pipelining, memory hierarchies and I/O. Sections on the ARM and x86 architectures are also included.

Computer Organization and Design MIPS Edition: The Hardware/Software Interface (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Computer Architecture and Design)

Computer Organization and Design: The Hardware/Software Interface, Sixth Edition, the leading, award-winning textbook from Patterson and Hennessy used by more than 40,000 students per year, continues to present the most comprehensive and readable introduction to this core computer science topic. Improvements to this new release include new sections in each chapter on Domain Specific Architectures (DSA) and updates on all real-world examples that keep it fresh and relevant for a new generation of students.

This edition is now out of print. Please see Computer Organization and Design, Third edition (ISBN 1558606041) for latest edition with over 40% of the content updated. The performance of software systems is dramatically affected by how well software designers understand the basic hardware technologies at work in a system. Similarly, hardware designers must understand the far reaching effects their design decisions have on software applications. For readers in either category, this classic introduction to the field provides a deep look into the computer. It demonstrates the relationship between the software and hardware and focuses on the foundational concepts that are the basis for current computer design. Using a distinctive "learning by evolution" approach the authors present each idea from its first principles, guiding readers through a series of worked examples that incrementally add more complex instructions until they have acquired an understanding of the entire MIPS instruction set and the fundamentals of assembly language. Computer arithmetic, pipelining, and memory hierarchies are treated to the same evolutionary approach with worked examples and incremental drawings supporting each new level of sophistication. The design, performance, and significance of I/O systems is also discussed in depth, and an entire chapter is devoted to the emerging architectures of multiprocessor systems. * Real Stuff provides relevant, tangible examples of how the concepts from the chapter are implemented in commercially successful products. * Fallacies and Pitfalls share the hard-won lessons of the authors and other designers in industry. * Big Pictures allow the reader to keep major insights in focus while studying the details. * Key terms, all fully defined in an end-of-book glossary, summarize the essential ideas introduced in the chapter.

Databases & Big Data

Esta obra corresponde a la traducción de la cuarta edición original del libro de texto que se ha convertido en referencia internacional. Su principal objetivo es mostrar la relación existente entre hardware y software y desarrollar los conceptos en que se fundamentan los computadores modernos.Actualmente es imprescindible que los profesionales de la informática, los de todas las especialidades, conozcan tanto el hardware como el software, ya que la comprensión de la interacción de estos dos elementos constituye el fundamento de la moderna ciencia de la computación. La reciente sustitución de los monoprocesadores por microprocesadores multinúcleo confirma la solidez de esta perspectiva, establecida ya en la primera edición de esta obra.En esta edición (la cuarta de la obra original) se han tenido en cuenta cinco objetivos principales:-resaltar en todo el libro los aspectos paralelos del hardware y el software, en consonancia.con la revolución multinúcleo de los microprocesadores;-racionalizar el material existente para dar cabida a los aspectos relacionados con el paralelismo;-mejorar la pedagogía en general;-actualizar el contenido técnico para reflejar los cambios habidos en la industria desde la anterior edición; y-restablecer la utilidad de los ejercicios en la era de Internet.
