Computer Organization and Structure: Performance Design: 5th Edition

Author: William Stallings
Publisher:
Publication Date: 2002-04-01
Features: This book comprehensively discusses the fundamental principles of computer organization and architecture, with content closely linked to current practical design issues. It can serve as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in electronic and computer engineering, as well as a reference for engineering professionals. The book is divided into five major parts: Introduction, Computer Systems, General Processing Units, Control Units, and Parallel Organization. The appendices include Digital Logic and Teaching Guidelines, while the end of the book features a glossary and index. Additionally, each chapter lists references and web sites to facilitate readers in accessing relevant materials. Considering the hierarchical organization of computers, the book also adopts a similar structure in its content organization: Computer Systems → Processor → Control Units. This approach aligns with common thinking habits, making it easier for readers to understand and learn. This is the fifth edition of the book, and author William Stallings has made extensive optimizations and improvements based on previous editions, as well as added new content such as optical storage, superscalar design, multimedia instruction sets, and synchronous multi-processors, reflecting the latest advancements in computer organization and architecture.
