Book Description:

This best-selling title, considered for over a decade to be essential reading for every serious student and practitioner of computer design, has been updated throughout to address the most important trends facing computer designers today. In this edition, the authors bring their trademark method of quantitative analysis not only to high performance desktop machine design, but also to the design of embedded and server systems. They have illustrated their principles with designs from all three of these domains, including examples from consumer electronics, multimedia and web technologies, and high performance computing.

New to this Edition:

• Examines quantitative performance analysis in the commercial server market and the embedded market, as well as the traditional desktop market.
• Updates all the examples and figures with the most recent benchmarks, such as SPEC 2000.
• Expands coverage of instruction sets to include descriptions of digital signal processors, media processors, and multimedia extensions to desktop processors.
• Analyzes capacity, cost, and performance of disks over two decades.
• Surveys the role of clusters in scientific computing and commercial computing.
• Presents a survey, taxonomy, and the benchmarks of errors and failures in computer systems.
• Presents detailed descriptions of the design of storage systems and of clusters.
• Surveys memory hierarchies in modern microprocessors and the key parameters of modern disks.
• Presents a glossary of networking terms.
