This book gives a comprehensive description of the architecture of microprocessors from simple in-order short pipeline designs to out-of-order superscalars. It discusses topics such as: • The policies and mechanisms needed for out-of-order processing such as register renaming, reservation stations, and reorder buffers • Optimizations for high performance such as branch predictors, instruction scheduling, and load-store speculations • Design choices and enhancements to tolerate latency in the cache hierarchy of single and multiple processors • State-of-the-art multithreading and multiprocessing emphasizing single chip implementations Topics are presented as conceptual ideas, with metrics to assess the performance impact, if appropriate, and examples of realization. The emphasis is on how things work at a black box and algorithmic level. The author also provides sufficient detail at the register transfer level so that readers can appreciate how design features enhance performance as well as complexity.

Product description

Review

"Professor Baer has developed an extremely appropriate and timely textbook for computer architecture, with a focus on how processors work, and how select micro-architectural features work. He is an excellent teacher, and has effectively presented and explained the concepts. The text covers all the major subjects necessary for a semester-long course in computer architecture."
Patrick Crowley, Washington University in St. Louis

"Overall, I believe that the book will serve as a useful textbook for explaining concepts related to the architecture of microprocessors to undergraduate and graduate students."
S. V. Nagaraj, Computing Reviews

    I picked up the kindle version, after seeing the physical version on a colleague's desk. The book covers the entire process for modern processors, from instruction fetch to internal queuing to execution. I haven't found a better text yet.

    This book present clearly the technological development in the area of microprocessor, illustrating the pros and cons of the alternatives. In my opinion this book is a strong contribution in the Microprocessor Architecture field.
