    Contents:
    Introduction -- Computer evolution and performance -- A top-level view of computer function and interconnection -- Cache memory -- Internal memory -- External memory -- Input/output -- Operating system support -- Computer arithmetic -- Instruction sets : characteristics and functions -- Instruction sets : addressing modes and formats -- Processor structure and function -- Reduced instruction set computers -- Instruction-level parallelism and superscalar processors -- The IA-64 architecture -- Control unit operation -- Microprogrammed control -- Parallel processing
    Review: "Computer Organization & Architecture: Designing for Performance, Seventh Edition provides comprehensive, far-reaching, and up-to-date coverage of computer organization and architecture, including memory, I/O, and parallel systems. Author and consultant William Stallings systematically covers the state of the art, from superscalar and IA-64 design to the latest trends in parallel processor organization. Throughout, he illuminates fundamental principles, while focusing on the critical role of performance in driving computer design, and practical techniques for designing balanced systems that maximize utilization of all elements."--BOOK JACKET.
