4.0 out of 5 stars
Suitable for Grad School or the determined undergrad,
By "bradrum" (Austin, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: High Performance Computer Architecture (3rd Edition) (Addison-Wesley Series in Electrical & Computer Engineering) (Hardcover)
Overall this book is a hard read for those without a pretty good Computer Architecture background. I like the examples from real research findings and the design techniques that the author provided but the material is a little dated now. This book does give you a good emphasis on design for those who are up to speed.
