This review is from: Computer Architecture: Pipelined and Parallel Processor Design (Computer Science Series) (Hardcover)

One-of-a-kind textbook intended for advanced students and computer system designers. It introduces a design methodology in an engineering quantitative approach that provides the reader with the necessary tools to compare and analyze various design alternatives. Advanced concepts such as the relation between cost, area and instruction set, optimum pipelining, superscalar designs, and memory system design are all introduced in a very appealing and rigorous quantitative approach.

The material provided in this text is quite suitable for senior-level undergraduates or first-year graduate students specializing in computer architecture and design. The material included in this book is the most advanced that directly leads to an improved design process. Design based on analytic techniques as compared to simulation techniques, I believe, will always be the leading design methodology in the academic and industrial surroundings.

This book has a lot of content. Little of which is unique beyond the standard text.
