5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Undergraduate Textbook for computer hardware,
By A Customer
This review is from: Computer Organization (Hardcover)
An excellent book, very complete and very detailed. Mostly well written and clear. It explains MC68K and Power PC archtiectures. It is very indepth when it comes to microprogramming. A good overview of Assembly concepts. You will learn about microprocessors inside out, including Intel Pentium family with superscalar features and the importance of pipelining and compiler optimization. A great reference for profesionals, a superb guide for undergrads.

Excellent undergraduate text,
By CF (Cleveland, OH USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Computer Organization (Hardcover)
This was the assigned text for my junior year computer engineering course on computer organization. I loved it. The explanations are clear, progress logically, and are clearly presented. I find myself picking it up from time to time, both to read the more advanced chapters out of personal interest and to look up details needed in more advanced coursework.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Lucid and Timeless,
This review is from: Computer Organization (Hardcover)
A clearly written book, which employs a simple language. Another beauty of the book is that all loose ends are tied up. As sentences unfold one will realize why a particular phrase was used earlier and so on. That makes a big difference for an engineering text book.
It is the best book that I know for fundamentals. Hence, it will be useful for years to come. Must have for all embedded systems people.
