Book Reviews of Computer Organization and Architecture: Designing for Performance (7th Edition)

Book Review: its a great book if youre a genius
Summary: 1 Stars

I just don't get what the point of textbooks like these is when you're expected to know everything to start with, or you're just supposed to magically understand everything from single sentence explanations that they give you. You just never quite know where the numbers are coming from and all the a - z symbols they start using randomly...so you go finding the meaning of those symbols and lose track of where you were originally. All that along with really useless complicated flowchart style examples render this book completely USELESS, and another $100 down the drain.

Summary of Computer Organization and Architecture: Designing for Performance (7th Edition)

With up-to-date coverage of modern architectural approaches, this handbook provides a thorough discussion of the fundamentals of computer organization and architecture, as well as the critical role of performance in driving computer design. Captures the field's continued innovations and improvements, with input from active practitioners. Reviews the two most prevalent approaches: superscalar, which has come to dominate the microprocessor design field, including the widely used Pentium; and EPIC, seen in the IA-64 architecture of Intel's Itanium. Views systems from both the architectural and organizational perspectives. Includes coverage of critical topics, such as bus organization, computer arithmetic, I/O modules, RISC, memory, and parallel processors. For professionals in computer product marketing or information system configuration and maintenance.
