In Praise puter Architecture: A Quantitative Approach
Fourth Edition
“The multiprocessor is here and it can no longer be avoided. As we bid farewell
to single-core processors and move into the chip multiprocessing age, it is great
timing for a new edition of Hennessy and Patterson’s classic. Few books have had
as significant an impact on the way their discipline is taught, and the current edi-
tion will ensure its place at the top for some time e.”

“What do the following have mon: Beatles’ tunes, HP calculators, choco-
late chip cookies, puter Architecture? They are all classics that have
stood the test of time.”
—Robert P. Colwell, Intel lead architect
“Not only does the book provide an authoritative reference on the concepts that
puter architects should be familiar with, but it is also a good starting point
for investigations into emerging areas in the field.”
—Krisztián Flautner, ARM Ltd.
“The best keeps getting better! This new edition is updated and very relevant to
the key issues puter architecture today. Plus, its new exercise paradigm is
much more useful for both students and instructors.”
—Norman P. Jouppi, HP Labs
“Computer Architecture builds on fundamentals that yielded the RISC revolution,
including the enablers for CISC translation. Now, in this new edition, it clearly
explains and gives insight into the latest microarchitecture techniques needed for
the new generation of multithreaded multicore processors.”
—Marc Tremblay, Fellow & VP, Chief Architect, Sun Microsystems
“This is a great textbook on all key accounts: pedagogically superb in exposing
the ideas and techniques that define the art anization and design,
stimulating to read, prehensive in its coverage of topics. The first edition
set a standard of excellence and relevance; this latest edition does it again.”
