Computer Organization and Design RISC-V Edition: The Hardware Software Interface

Overall it’s been a decent text for my digital logic design course. However, more emphasis on 64 bit architecture would have been useful.

This is one of the tomes on the topic. David Patterson is renowned in the industry and is well known for his work on MIPs and other architectures including RISC V. In fact, earlier versions of this book --the so-called "Blue Book" -- used MIPs as the foundation and the astute reader will note the many similarities in the RISC V and MIPs instruction sets. Patterson & Hennessy are also well known for Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach. But I have found throughout my career that the Organization book is a bit more suited to the hand's on software engineer, designer, or architect than the more theoretical work. And it is worth noting that even though AI can be extremely useful in today's software development environment, it can't beat having this book in your toolbox when when core concepts need review or when the bot produces questionable results .

Awesome book.

This comment is about the quality of the books binding. From a book with such a high price tag I expect at least no production deffects. This book left MK/Elseviers Press without quality control (obviously). There are pages folded and then glued. This has not happened during transport because the pages are all alligned on the right side.

I've read it and it's not usual to have a book of that quality. Awesome. It's perfect to be understood by beginners and yet quite precise
