Computer Organization and Design MIPS Edition

The book delves into parallelism, offering comprehensive examples and content that focus on both hardware and software aspects. Each chapter features new sections on Domain Specific Architectures (DSA), enhancing the discussion. It emphasizes the "Eight Great Ideas" of computer architecture, which include strategies for improving performance through parallelism, pipelining, prediction, and design considerations like Moore's Law, memory hierarchy, abstraction, optimizing common cases, and ensuring dependability through redundancy.
