Computer architecture. Quantitative approach. 5th edition. Hennessi John L.

The computer world today is in the center of the revolution: mobile clients and cloud computing are now the dominant paradigm in the development of programming and hardware innovation. The fifth original publication of "computer architecture" is focused on this significant shift. The key point of the new publication is a significantly processed chapter devoted to the parallelism of the data level, which reveals the secret of the architectural of graphic processors using clear explanations, using the traditional terminology of computers architecture.

The book describes how the software and cloud technologies have become available for cell phones, tablet computers, laptops and other mobile devices. Each chapter includes two real examples (one mobile center and one data center) to illustrate these revolutionary changes.

The book is intended for professional engineers and architects, and for those related to teaching and studying the courses of modern architecture and designing computers.
