Das Buch bietet eine solide Grundlage für das Verständnis des Zusammenspiels zwischen Hardware und Software auf den unterschiedlichen Ebenen.Patterson/Hennessy deckt alle Themen zur Rechnerorganisation kompetent und aus einem Guss ab: beginnend mit dem Aufbau von Computern, einer Einführung in die Maschinensprache und die Rechnerarithmetik, über die Einflussfaktoren auf die Rechenleistung und den Entwurf von Steuerwerk und Datenpfad, bis hin zur Leistungssteigerung durch Nutzung von Pipelining und der Speicherhierarchie. Zwei Kapitel über Ein- und Ausgabesysteme sowie zu Multiprozessoren und Cluster-Computing runden das Werk ab.
"Vermittelt die Prinzipien moderner Rechnerorganisation und des Zusammenspiels von Hardware und Software. Zahlreiche sorgfältig gestaltete Abbildungen fördern das Verständnis für das, was sich im Inneren der Geräte tatsächlich abspielt
"Buchhändler heute
"A. Patterson und John L. Hennessy gewähren die gewohnten Einblicke in das Zusammenwirken von Hard- und Software, Leistungseinschätzungen und zahlreicher Rechnerkonzepte in einer Tiefe, die zusammen mit klarer Didaktik und einer eher lockeren Sprache den Erfolg des gewichtigen Werks begründen." - Rechnerorganisation und -entwurf für Hardwarespezialisten und Softwareentwickler gleichermaßen, ebenso funktioniert es für Theoretiker ebenso wie für Praktiker. Umfassend, zugänglich und fundiert dargestellt." - Besseres zum Thema Rechnerorganisation und-entwurf muss erst noch geschrieben werden

"Stimmen zum englischsprachigen Buch:
"This book trains the student with the concepts needed to lay a solid foundation for joining exciting field. More importantly, this book provides a framework for thinking about computer organization and design that will enable the reader to continue the lifetime of learning necessary for staying at the forefront of this competitive discipline." - John Crawford, Intel Fellow, Director of Microprocessor Architecture, Intel, USA
"The logical development and explanations and examples were always great to begin with. The `Historical Perspectives¿ have become even better- they are part of the book that I enjoy most." - David Harris, Harvey Mudd
"Best Book Out there!" - If you are a computer scientist or engineer, you must have this book. This book introduces the basic and advanced principles of computing. It gives a good background on computer systems, how it works, how it performs and how to design a system. It teaches the relationship between hardware and low level sofware. You might need to have a little background in digital design and little assembly knowlegde." - It is well organized and maintains the reader's attention. It starts with simple and advances through out the chapter. Arithmetic, performance, processor design, pipelining, memory and more advanced topics are covered and explained really well. Especially if you are missing some background in any topic, you can look in to the cd that comes with the book and it has more than enough tutorial. (MIPS, Verilog, Risc architectures etc..)." - I can say that, its one of the best textbook I have ever had. If you want to advance yourself to next level after reading this book and understanding the concepts, then you should move on to "Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach" book by the same authors. It covers topics much more in depth." - Erhan Senlik (Stony Brook University, NY USA) bei amazon.com
"Positioned right between hardware and software
"This has become one of the standard text books, and now that it's been updated to the third edition it is even more impressive than before. It's updated to cover the Pentium 4 and has a little bit on the AMD Opteron which is making very strong inroads in the high performance clustered supercomputer business. There's also a fair amount on the MIPS processor. (One of the authors was a cofounder of MIPS.)" - This book is aimed at the intersection of the true hardware types and the low level software types. As such, it's guaranteed not to be deep enough in either area to satisfy all. But to the hardware type thinking in bits and discrete logic the programming aspects will be a good help. Likewise to the software type, learning what registers really do, and what's pipelining, will be a great help." - Chapter 9, potentially the most interesting, is on clusters. This chapter is on the CD, not in the book itself. [in der deutschen Ausgabe im Buch]
