5.0 out of 5 stars It is really a very good book for Computer Science students, October 15, 1999

This review is from: Advanced Computer Architecture: Parallelism, Scalability, Programmability (Hardcover)

This is an excellent book especially for students who want to do Masters in Computer Science & Engineering. Concept of Parallel processing, multistage Unix Kernel etc. are excellent. More detailed discussion on SuperComputer Architecture with diagrams are required.

This review is from: Advanced Computer Architecture: Parallelism, Scalability, Programmability (Hardcover)

Much of this book is a dry read. Oh well, they all are. The value I find in this book is that I occasionally need to re-remember the design needs of a more complex ASIC/CPU/SoC design. Many of the issues related to these designs are often forgotten in the rush to get a design done on schedule. This book kicks my mind set back toward the principals and challenges in designing such a complex system.
