good book for beginners
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
its a good book to learn the basics for the computer architecture and some intermediate topics also
It's good
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I have a BS in math and I found this book to be better than Hennessy/Patterson. I see that some of the reviewers don't have a very positive opinion of this book. I think they are wrong and their professors were right! Hayes book is subtle and will widen your perspective enormously. It's well written for someone who enjoys reading classics and doesn't like reading technical manuals that are here today, gone tomorrow.
A really good book for extensive knowledge
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Though this book is indimidating on the first instance, It might be an ideal book if it is read more for knowledge than Grades. It presents an extensive views on different architecture and even starts from explaining the TURING machine in the first chapter and ending with the Network architecture in the last chapter. It has extensive views on how different digital circuits can be created using gates and most of the book covers this aspect of digital circuit design. Such an extensive book should be considered for a 2 semester course rather than a one semester.
Very good engineering viewpoint to computer architecture
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This text is suitable for introducing engineering undergrads to the topic of computer architecture. It treats the various topics in depth, especially as far as the implementation is concerned - an area which is frequently lacking in several CS textbooks on the topic. This book does, however, assume a good knowledge of digital logic design; also, certain topics (such as the algorithms for performing arithmetic) are explained in a clearer way in other textbooks. A major strongpoint in this text is the Control Unit design, including pipelined systems. I recommend this text to anyone who wants a clear picture of architecture from an implementation standpoint rather than a merely organizational one.
