In Praise of Computer Organization and Design: The Hardware/
Software Interface, Revised Fourth Edition
“Patterson and Hennessy not only improve the pedagogy of the traditional mate-
rial on pipelined processors and memory hierarchies, but also greatly expand the
multiprocessor coverage to include emerging multicore processors and GPUs. The
fourth edition of Computer Organization and Design sets a new benchmark against
which all other architecture books must be compared.”
—David A. Wood, University of Wisconsin-Madison
“Patterson and Hennessy have greatly improved what was already the gold stan-
dard of textbooks. In the rapidly evolving field of computer architecture, they have
woven an impressive number of recent case studies and contemporary issues into
a framework of time-tested fundamentals.”
—Fred Chong, University of California at Santa Barbara
“Since the publication of the first edition in 1994, Computer Organization and
Design has introduced a generation of computer science and engineering students
to computer architecture. Now, many of those students have become leaders in the
field. In academia, the tradition continues as faculty use the latest edition of the
book that inspired them to engage the next generation. With the fourth
edition,
readers are prepared for the next era of computing.”
—David I. August, Princeton University
“The new coverage of multiprocessors and parallelism lives up to the standards
of this well-written classic. It provides well-motivated, gentle introductions to the
new topics, as well as many details and examples drawn from current hardware.”
—John Greiner, Rice University
“As computer hardware architecture moves from uniprocessor to multicores, the
parallel programming environments used to take advantage of these cores will be
a defining challenge to the success of these new systems. In the multicore systems,
the interface between the hardware and software is of particular importance. This
new edition of Computer Organization and Design is mandatory for any student
who wishes to understand multicore architecture including the interface between
programming it and its architecture.”
—Jesse Fang, Director of Programming System Lab at Intel
“The fourth edition of Computer Organization and Design continues to improve
the high standards set by the previous editions. The new content, on trends that
are reshaping computer systems including multicores, Flash memory, GPUs, etc.,
makes this edition a must read—even for all of those who grew up on previous
editions of the book.”
—Parthasarathy Ranganathan, Principal Research Scientist, HP Labs
