Computer Organization and Design RISC-V Edition - Edition 2 - By David A. Patterson and John L. Hennessy Elsevier Educate

Key Features

Covers parallelism in-depth, with examples and content highlighting parallel hardware and software topics
Focuses on 64-bit address, ISA to 32-bit address, and ISA for RISC-V because 32-bit RISC-V ISA is simpler to explain, and 32-bit address computers are still best for applications like embedded computing and IoT
Includes new sections in each chapter on Domain Specific Architectures (DSA)
Provides updates on all the real-world examples in the book

Tali Moreshet

I actually don't know if I'll be adopting this book, since the rep hasn't responded to any of my many requests for a copy. Extremely frustrating!

Great book! Considering use as a Core Text, depending on availability of RISC-V simulation tools.

When I was a student, I used the second edition of the textbook "Computer Organization and Design: The Hardware/Software Interface", which was published in 1997. Almost 30 years later, and being a CS professional for almost 20 years, this book (of the RISC-V edition) is still indispensable to me. I am looking forward to applying my knowledge of the old edition to its RISC-V implementation.
