Computer Organization and Design ARM Edition: The Hardware Software Interface (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Computer Architecture and Design) 1st Edition

EXCELLENT BOOK - THERE ARE ARM AND A RISCV VERSIONS NOW. ENJOY.

Needed it for college, they had it in stock and cheaper than the book store. Can't complain. Did learn a lot from the book as well.

This book was based off the original MIPs textbook by the same authors. Unfortunately, the authors were not perfect in adjusting all the content to the ARM (LEGv8) instruction set architecture. Because of this, some of the datapath and control diagrams are incomplete or incorrect. Although sometimes the omission of MUXes and gates, etc, is asserted, other times it is not. In all it reduces the value of the book as a resource to designing a functional LEGv8 Processor in simulation (for educational purposes like a lab for a computer architecture class). I also found some of the homework problems to be unclear and poorly worded.The authors are really bright, but I hope the next edition fixes the many errors.

The binding of this book is HORRIBLE. I already accidentally ripped a few page partially off the binding. And I'm careful with my books. but this is absolutely ridiculous. Trying to turn a page -and ripppp.edit: about a total of 7 pages half ripped -___-

Great book to learn assembly language. Written very well. Have to have a lot of focus cuz it is really dense

i gave it 5 starts cause its a good book..... if its not required don't buy it because it will give you nightmares

I got this for school. It came exactly as described. I discovered that I hate computer science

Terrible quality control. I paid for a book labeled as condition:used good but recieved one in condition: used acceptable. However, this book is not in an acceptable condition. The damage to it is incredible, the book is close to falling apart completely. The pictures attached do not do the damage justice. I hope this was a mistake on their part, but I cannot use the book outside of my apartment in this condition. I would avoid this seller at all costs since they will likely not send you the correct version and their version of acceptable is abhorrent to say the least. Although in terms of content, Patterson and Hennessy seem to have done a decent job at things. I will try to return and try to get a book in the condition that I paid for.
