Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach, Sixth Edition has been considered essential reading by instructors, students and practitioners of computer design for over 20 years. The sixth edition of this classic textbook from Hennessy and Patterson, winners of the 2017 ACM A.M. Turing Award recognizing contributions of lasting and major technical importance to the computing field, is fully revised with the latest developments in processor and system architecture. The text now features examples from the RISC V (RISC Five) instruction set architecture, a modern RISC instruction set developed and designed to be a free and openly adoptable standard. It also includes a new chapter on domain specific architectures and an updated chapter on warehouse scale computing that features the first public information on Google's newest WSC.

True to its original mission of demystifying computer architecture, this edition continues the longstanding tradition of focusing on areas where the most exciting computing innovation is happening, while always keeping an emphasis on good engineering design.

  • Winner of a 2019 Textbook Excellence Award (Texty) from the Textbook and Academic Authors Association
  • Includes a new chapter on domain specific architectures, explaining how they are the only path forward for improved performance and energy efficiency given the end of Moore’s Law and Dennard scaling
  • Features the first publication of several DSAs from industry
  • Features extensive updates to the chapter on warehouse scale computing, with the first public information on the newest Google WSC
  • Offers updates to other chapters including new material dealing with the use of stacked DRAM; data on the performance of new NVIDIA Pascal GPU vs. new AVX 512 Intel Skylake CPU; and extensive additions to content covering multicore architecture and organization
  • Includes "Putting It All Together" sections near the end of every chapter, providing real world technology examples that demonstrate the principles covered in each chapter
  • Includes review appendices in the printed text and additional reference appendices available online
  • Includes updated and improved case studies and exercises
  • ACM named John L. Hennessy and David A. Patterson, recipients of the 2017 ACM A.M. Turing Award for pioneering a systematic, quantitative approach to the design and evaluation of computer architectures with enduring impact on the microprocessor industry.

    This is the book I used in school many years ago. I thought I would buy a copy to freshen my knowledge.

    Well it is still good but I found it long winded (like many text books currently )

    So it was too slow to fit my needs but otherwise okay

    Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2018

    I am a student of Software Engineering and I graduated top of the class thanks to this book.

    The authors of this book have done an amazing job writing it. They take you to the incredible world of computer architecture and introduce you to the key ideas and concepts which make computer so powerful.

    The book is very detailed and leaves no loose ends. I love that fact that there authors provide concrete evidence for all of their statements (backed up by years of research and experiments).

    The book is beginner-friendly but I recommend reading the Computer Organization and Design by the same authors first because many things will be more clear and easier to understand.

    This classic textbook required text for a class I took in graduate school at the University of Illinois at Chicago back in the 1990s, and I just used it in two sections of a graduate class at Saint Leo University in Fall 2021. It's a classic that has withstood the test of time.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A Computer Hardware Bible!
    Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    Wow! Everything you want to know about the underlying processes which enable bits to flow in harmony in your computer or handheld device is covered in this book. The publisher could have used a better editor in some areas regarding descriptions and figures. There are some occasions where the two just did not match. Minor frustration. This should not distract you from purchasing this book if you have an interest in what makes today's modern computing systems function. Because of the massive amount information contained in the volume you will definitely find something you did not know prior to reading.
