Computer Organization and Design RISC-V Edition,
Edition 1 The Hardware Software Interface
By David A. Patterson and John L. Hennessy

Publication Date: 13 Apr 2017
Description

The new RISC-V Edition of Computer Organization and Design features the RISC-V open source instruction set architecture, the first open source architecture designed to be used in modern computing environments such as cloud computing, mobile devices, and other embedded systems.

With the post-PC era now upon us, Computer Organization and Design moves forward to explore this generational change with examples, exercises, and material highlighting the emergence of mobile computing and the Cloud. Updated content featuring tablet computers, Cloud infrastructure, and the x86 (cloud computing) and ARM (mobile computing devices) architectures is included.

An online companion Web site provides advanced content for further study, appendices, glossary, references, and recommended reading.
