Computer Organization and Design: The Hardware/Software Interface, 5/e (Asian Edition)(IE-Paperback)

<內容簡介>

About the Asian Edition
With the consent of the authors, we have developed this Asian Edition of Computer Organization and Design: The Hardware/Software Interface, to better reflect local teaching practice of computer course in Asian classrooms and the development of computer technology in this region. The major adjustments of content include:

  An introduction to the “TH-2 High Performance Computing System” (as a demonstration of cluster computing system) to replace Appendix B on digital logic, and a new section on “ Networks-on-Chip ” as Appendix F. Both reflect the latest progress in computer technology and can serve as good reference for readers.

  Abridgment of some sections of Chapter 2 to better suit the cur rent curriculums applied in Asian classrooms.

With these adjustments listed above, the Asian Edition is enhanced with local features while keeping the main structure and knowledge framework of the original version.
Special thanks go to Prof. Zhiying Wang, Prof. Chung-Ping Chung, Associate Prof. Li Shen and Dr. Sheng Ma, for their contributions to the development of this Asian Edition.

Changes for the Fifth Edition
We had six major goals for the fifth edition of Computer Organization and Design: demonstrate the importance of understanding hardware with a running example; highlight major themes across the topics using margin icons that are introduced early; update examples to reflect changeover from PC era to PostPC era; spread the material on I/O throughout the book rather than isolating it into a single chapter; update the technical content to reflect changes in the industry since the publication of the fourth edition in 2009; and put appendices and optional sections online instead of including a CD to lower costs and to make this edition viable as an electronic book
