Computer Organization and Design 5th Edition, Paperback Book, By: David A. Patterson and John L. Hennessy

Computer Organization and Design, Fifth Edition, is the latest update to the classic introduction to computer organization. The text now contains new examples and material highlighting the emergence of mobile computing and the cloud. It explores this generational change with updated content featuring tablet computers, cloud infrastructure and the ARM (mobile computing devices) and x86 (cloud computing) architectures. About the Author: David A. Patterson is the Parade Chair of Computer Science, Emeritus University of California Berkeley. His teaching has been honored with the Distinguished Teaching Award from the University of California, the Karlstrom Award from ACM and the Mulligan Education Medal and Undergraduate Teaching Award from IEEE. Patterson received the IEEE Technical Achievement Award and the ACM Eckert-Mauchly Award for Contributions to RISC and he shared the IEEE Johnson Information Storage Award for Contributions to RAID. Hey, so shared the IEEE John of Neumann Medal and the C & C Prize with John Hennessy. Like his co-author, Patterson is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Computer History Museum, ACM and IEEE and the National Academy of Sciences and the Silicon Valley Engineering Hall of Fame. He served on the Information Technology Advisory Committee as US President, as chair of the CS division in the Berkeley EECS department, as chair of the Computing Research Association and as President of ACM. This record is a Distinguished Service Award from ACM, CRA and SIGARCH. John L.
