Summary
This book deals with advanced computer architecture and parallel programming techniques. It offers a balanced treatment of theory, technology architecture and software used by advanced computer systems. It presents state-of-the-art principles and techniques for designing and programming parallel, vector, and scalable computer systems. The emphasis on parallelism, scalability and improbability lends an added flavor to this text. The new chapter on-Instruction Level Parallelism describes the basic techniques of instruction level parallelism, and discusses relevant system design and performance issues which place a limit on its successful exploitation. While another newly added chapter on Recent Advancements in Computer Architecture discusses the technological advances which have had a major impact on computer architecture, and details some recently introduced processors, systems, and multi-core systems-on-a-chip
