Computer Organization and Design RISC-V Edition: The Hardware Software Interface (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Computer Architecture and Design) 1st Edition

4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 106 ratings

The new RISC V Edition of Computer Organization and Design features the RISC V open source instruction set architecture, the first open source architecture designed to be used in modern computing environments such as cloud computing, mobile devices, and other embedded systems.

With the post PC era now upon us, Computer Organization and Design moves forward to explore this generational change with examples, exercises, and material highlighting the emergence of mobile computing and the Cloud. Updated content featuring tablet computers, Cloud infrastructure, and the x86 (cloud computing) and ARM (mobile computing devices) architectures is included.

An online companion Web site provides advanced content for further study, appendices, glossary, references, and recommended reading.

  • Features RISC V, the first such architecture designed to be used in modern computing environments, such as cloud computing, mobile devices, and other embedded systems
  • Includes relevant examples, exercises, and material highlighting the emergence of mobile computing and the cloud.

About the Author

David Patterson is the Pardee Professor of Computer Science, Emeritus at the University of California at Berkeley, which he joined after graduating from UCLA in 1977.His teaching has been honored by the Distinguished Teaching Award from the University of California, the Karlstrom Award from ACM, and the Mulligan Education Medal and Undergraduate Teaching Award from IEEE. Prof. Patterson received the IEEE Technical Achievement Award and the ACM Eckert-Mauchly Award for contributions to RISC, and he shared the IEEE Johnson Information Storage Award for contributions to RAID. He also shared the IEEE John von Neumann Medal and the C & C Prize with John Hennessy. Like his co-author, Prof. Patterson is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Computer History Museum, ACM, and IEEE, and he was elected to the National Academy of Engineering, the National Academy of Sciences, and the Silicon Valley Engineering Hall of Fame. He served on the Information Technology Advisory Committee to the U.S. President, as chair of the CS division in the Berkeley EECS department, as chair of the Computing Research Association, and as President of ACM. This record led to Distinguished Service Awards from ACM, CRA, and SIGARCH.

ACM named John L. Hennessy a recipient 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. John L. Hennessy is a Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Stanford University, where he has been a member of the faculty since 1977 and was, from 2000 to 2016, its tenth President. Prof. Hennessy is a Fellow of the IEEE and ACM; a member of the National Academy of Engineering, the National Academy of Science, and the American Philosophical Society; and a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Among his many awards are the 2001 Eckert-Mauchly Award for his contributions to RISC technology, the 2001 Seymour Cray Computer Engineering Award, and the 2000 John von Neumann Award, which he shared with David Patterson. He has also received seven honorary doctorates.

    I don't understand the negative reviews. This is a very nicely written textbook (from a second year undergrad with only some familiarity with logic design). Explains everything crystal clear and shows motivation for everything. This is a good textbook to learn from as it is very pleasant to read and will improve your understanding of computer organization/assembly.

    Ignore the 1 star review. Regardless of whether there's a lot updated from the previous version, the book is a great introduction to RISC-V.

    Great introduction to RISC-V. Unfortunate that it does not include an answer key to the exercises.

    If you didn't have logic background, authors included an Appendix section and it does a really good job at explaining all the concepts.

    The normal chapters also do a great job explaining everything. The book also has many graphs and visual, which make it easy to understand the concepts.

    This is terribly written, and it doesn't seem like anybody edited it. The end of chapter exercises are so obscure about what data you are supposed to use that it's almost impossible to work through. Without looking the answers up from a 3rd party source and working backwards you will never be able to solve all of the exercises. I can not believe my university actually approved this textbook.

    I have never seen so many typos in a textbook. It's the first edition, so some are expected, but there's a lot.
    As for the material itself, it's naturally dry. Some parts have good explanations, others read like a reference book rather than being instructional.
    Overall, this series has potential in future editions, but as it stands, I would pick up something else.

    Good book about computers in general. Very little information about Risc-V, however, although it does have ARM and X86 specific information. I was looking for a good book on Risc-V. Still looking.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Gran libro. Edición mejorable.
    Reviewed in Mexico on August 17, 2017
    Lo bueno:
    El libro está perfectamente redactado y es ideal para un primer curso de arquitectura de computadoras. Aunque en sus apendices explica nociones básicas de Diseño Digital, es bueno tener ya algunas nociones y práctica en estos temas, así como en aritmética de computador y quizá tener cierta experiencia programando en ensamblador. Nada que ningún Universitario no posea.
    Lo malo:
    En el libro físico no vienen incluidas varias secciones y apéndices que se dejan para una versión online. Tales como breviarios históricos y temas avanzados, y es una lástima porque hay secciones del libro físico que hacen referencia a las secciones online.
