Structured Computer Organization 6th Edition by Andrew Tanenbaum (PDF)

Description

Structured Computer Organization, specifically written for undergraduate students, is a best-selling guide that provides an accessible introduction to computer hardware and architecture. This text will also serve as a useful resource for all computer professionals and engineers who need an overview or introduction to computer architecture. This book takes a modern structured, layered approach to understanding computer systems. It’s highly accessible – and it’s been thoroughly updated to reflect today’s most critical new technologies and the latest developments in computer organization and architecture. Tanenbaum’s renowned writing style and painstaking research make this one of the most accessible and accurate books available, maintaining the author’s popular method of presenting a computer as a series of layers, each one built upon the ones below it, and understandable as a separate entity.

Editorial Reviews: About the Author Andrew S. Tanenbaum has a B.S. Degree from M.I.T. and a Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley. He is currently a Professor of Computer Science at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, where he heads the Computer Systems Group. Until 2005, he was the Dean of the Advanced School for Computing and Imaging, an inter-university graduate school doing research on advanced parallel, distributed, and imaging systems. In the past, he has done research on compilers, operating systems, networking, and local-area distributed systems. His current research focuses primarily on the design of wide-area distributed systems that scale to a billion users. These research projects have led to five books and over 85 referred papers in journals and conference proceedings. Prof. Tanenbaum has also produced a considerable volume of software. He was the principal architect of the Amsterdam Compiler Kit, a widely-used toolkit for writing portable compilers, as well as of MINIX, a small UNIX clone intended for use in student programming labs. Together with his Ph.D. students and programmers, he helped design the Amoeba distributed operating system, a high-performance microkernel-based distributed operating system. The MINIX and Amoeba systems are now available for free via the Internet.. Prof. Tanenbaum is a Fellow of the ACM, a Fellow of the IEEE, a member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences, winner of the 1994 ACM Karl V. Karlstrom Outstanding Educator Award, and winner of the 1997 ACM/SIGCSE Award for Outstanding Contributions to Computer Science Education. He is also listed in Who’s Who in the World. Todd Austinis a Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. His research interests include computer architecture, reliable system design, hardware and software verification, and performance analysis tools and techniques. Prior to joining academia, Todd was a Senior Computer Architect in Intel’s Microcomputer Research Labs , a product-oriented research laboratory in Hillsboro, Oregon. Todd is the first to take credit (but the last to accept blame) for creating the SimpleScalar Tool Set, a popular collection of computer architecture performance analysis tools. In addition to his work in academia, Todd is co-founder of SimpleScalar LLC and InTempo Design LLC. In 2002, Todd was a Sloan Research Fellow , and in 2007 he received the ACM Maurice Wilkes Award for “for innovative contributions in Computer Architecture including the SimpleScalar Toolkit and the DIVA and Razor architectures.” Todd received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Wisconsin in 1996.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Good book, helpful for 400 level study.

⭐I am a software developer (C/C++) and was looking a book about hardware internals i.e. how my computer works (CPU, branch prediction, cache lines, memory etc etc).Initially I bough Patterson&Hennessy but it was almost useless for me – it was hard to read, messy organization, no explanation for basics things.Then I bought this book, and WOW it was a great pleasure for me to read it. It was easy to read – I finished the book in ~4 weeks (reading it at evenings before going to sleep). Tanenbaum uses ‘simplified English’ – it is a great help for me as English is not my native language. The book starts from basic things known to most software engineers and goes deeper and deeper into details. Actually I went ahead and bought another his great book – ‘Networks’.Some people are complaining about poor exercises – I cannot really evaluate it. I do not care about exercises, I mostly skipped it as I was interested in the theoretical part.

⭐The author provides a lot of details, but examples are not as clear and content while explained concisely, is a bit to short to fully expand on a topic. A good reference book, but other books may help a student grasp the subject with less effort.

⭐I hardly understood a thing but I didn’t realize it would be worth keeping for other reasons. I graduated from college with a minor in Computer Science and had to get this to pass a specific class.

⭐This book is easy to understand and I followed along really easily. It was required for class. Sturdy, great condition.

⭐Excellent

⭐it has good content details, very clear and helpful, easy to read it and study it, really i love it

⭐I love it .It is very cheaper than hard cover one and i had a good deal for this one.

⭐I got my book surprisingly fast. The book is also very good. Its well written and really begins with the complete basics and slowly builds up to the more advanced stuff, so even the complete beginners can use this book to learn about computers in much detail.

⭐È un libro richiesto dall’università di mio figlio, a suo dire molto interessante.Titolo abbastanza aggiornato sull’architettura dei calcolatori. L’architettura più nuova presentata è la sandy bridge. Scritto bene ed in modo chiaro, personalmente l’ho trovato poco utile per lo studio, tratta argomenti poco rilevanti in modo approfondito e invece lascia accennati argomenti molto importanti. Non mi sento di consigliarlo ad altri studenti.Ho comprato questo libro per i miei studi universitari. Il libro é ben spiegato anche se molto dispersivo.Il libro ricevuto é un’edizione differente da quella in foto (ma i contenuti sono gli stessi, cambiano giusto degli esercizi e mi pare un capitolo).Lo consiglio a tutti.il libro arrivato è corrispondente alla descrizione, i tempi di consegna sono stati veloci. Lo consiglio sicuramente a tutti quelli che ricercano il suddetto testo.
