Computer Organization and Design: The Hardware/Software Interface,
Sixth Edition, the leading, award-winning textbook from Patterson
and Hennessy used by more than 40,000 students per year, continues
to present the most comprehensive and readable introduction to this
core computer science topic. Improvements to this new release
include new sections in each chapter on Domain Specific
Architectures (DSA) and updates on all real-world examples that
keep it fresh and relevant for a new generation of students.
Most anglers are well aware of the popular game fish that inhabit
the Northeast, including the largemouth bass, the rainbow trout,
and the yellow perch. But the region's inland waters boast a much
broader array of fish than first meets the eye (or hook).
The father-and-son team of David A. Patterson and Matt Patterson
have pursued both game fish and bait fish in Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and New York. In
Freshwater Fish of the Northeast, they describe more than 60
different species, from the well known to the obscure, including
the redfin pickerel, the blueback trout, and the slimy sculpin.
This colorful and helpful guide includes detailed information on
habits, habitats, history, and more.
In order to best capture the look and appeal of these fish in their
native waters, most of the images are based on the authors' own
live catches. The pencil-and-acrylic illustrations render each
species in lifelike detail, with close attention given to unique
physical characteristics. Both art book and guidebook, this volume
will stir some fond memories of fish caught--and a few of those
that got away.
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.
Computer Organization and Design RISC-V Edition: The Hardware
Software Interface, Second Edition, the award-winning textbook from
Patterson and Hennessy that is used by more than 40,000 students
per year, continues to present the most comprehensive and readable
introduction to this core computer science topic. This version of
the book features the RISC-V open source instruction set
architecture, the first open source architecture designed for use
in modern computing environments such as cloud computing, mobile
devices, and other embedded systems. Readers will enjoy an online
companion website that provides advanced content for further study,
appendices, glossary, references, links to software tools, and
more.
The new ARM Edition of Computer Organization and Design features a
subset of the ARMv8-A architecture, which is used to present the
fundamentals of hardware technologies, assembly language, computer
arithmetic, pipelining, memory hierarchies, and I/O. 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 ARM (mobile computing
devices) and x86 (cloud computing) architectures is included. An
online companion Web site provides links to a free version of the
DS-5 Community Edition (a free professional quality tool chain
developed by ARM), as well as additional advanced content for
further study, appendices, glossary, references, and recommended
reading.
von C. Gordon Bell Es ist mir cine Freudc und Ehre, das Vorwort
flir dieses richtungwcisendc Buch zu schreiben. Die Autoren sind
Uber die bekannten Bcitrage von Thomas zum Calculus und Samuelson
zur Wirtschaft weit hinausgegangcn. Sic haben ein Standardwcrk fUr
Rcchncr- architcktur und -entwurf geschaffen. Zum Nutzen der
lnfonllatik ermutigc ich die Ycricger, die vielen BUcher zu diesem
Thema zurlickzuziehen, damit schnell cine neue Generation von
lnformatikern und Systemingcnieuren herangebildet werden kann.
Dieses Buch bcab- sichtigt nicht, die komplcxen und fehlerhaften
Mikroprozessoren der Halbleiterfirmen zu bcscitigen, doch es wird
die Ausbildung von lngenicurcn beschleunigen, die hcsscrc
entwcrl"en konnen. Das Buch bietet die kritischen Werkzcuge zur
Analyse von Einprozessorcomputcrn. Es zeigt dem praktisch tiitigen
Ingcnieur, wie sich die Technologic mit dcr Zeit vcrandert, und
lielcrt die flir den Entwurf nOlwendigen cmpirischcn Konstanten.
Leitender Gesichtspunkt beim Entwurf ist die Funktionalitat
anstclle der stereotypen Aharheitung von Roulinen, mit denen ein
uncrfahrcner Entwerfer versucht, cinen cinfachen Entwurf
durchzufiihren. Die Autoren schufen cine Ausgangsbasis rur Analysen
und Ycrgleiche, indcm sic die wichtigsten Maschinen jeder Klasse
hehandeln: Mainframe (IBM 360), Mini (DEC V AX) und MikrolPC (Intel
80x86). Darauf aulhaucnd zeigcn sic die kommenden Hauptentwick-
lungslinien einfachcr Pipeline- und Parallclprozessoren. Dicsc
ncuen Technologicn werden als Varianten ihrcs in didaktischcr
Hinsichl nlitzlichcn, aher auch lals ichlid' rcalisierharcn
Prozcssors (DLX) vorgestellt. Die Autorcn betonen Technologieunahh
ingigkeit durch Mcssung der pro Takt ausgefiihrten Arheit
(Parallclvcrarbcitung) und der Arheit pro Zciteinheit (Effcktivitat
und Gesamldaucr). Diesc MClhoden solltcn auch die Qualiliit der
Forschung zu neuen Architekluren und wr Parallclverarheitung
wrhessern.
Contemporary Security Management, Fourth Edition, identifies and
condenses into clear language the principal functions and
responsibilities for security professionals in supervisory and
managerial positions. Managers will learn to understand the mission
of the corporate security department and how the mission intersects
with the missions of other departments. The book assists managers
with the critical interactions they will have with decision makers
at all levels of an organization, keeping them aware of the many
corporate rules, business laws, and protocols of the industry in
which the corporation operates. Coverage includes the latest trends
in ethics, interviewing, liability, and security-related standards.
The book provides concise information on understanding budgeting,
acquisition of capital equipment, employee performance rating,
delegated authority, project management, counseling, and hiring.
Productivity, protection of corporate assets, and monitoring of
contract services and guard force operations are also detailed, as
well as how to build quality relationships with leaders of external
organizations, such as police, fire and emergency response
agencies, and the Department of Homeland Security.
