Computer Organization and Design RISC-V Edition

这本书在读者口中反复出现的词是“圣经”“神书”，但它打动人的地方并非高深理论，而是把计算机体系结构讲得“干净、清楚、简单易懂”。编辑以为它会堆砌寄存器与逻辑门，实际翻开会发现：作者用表格聚合概念、用统一的图形符号指代反复出现的模块，让抽象的硬件逻辑有了可循的秩序。读者特别提到流水线与虚拟存储“简单易懂”，新版又补齐了RISC-V、GPU、云与移动计算这些与时俱进的内容。它适合两类人：正需要系统学习体系结构、又恰好要接触RISC-V的读者，以及被其他计算机教材混乱叙述折磨、渴望一本“干净整洁”课本的人。这更像一位耐心的向导，把“硬件如何与软件相接”这件事讲明白。

David Patterson is the Pardee Professor of Computer Science, Emeritus at the University of California at Berkeley, which he joined after graduating from UCLA in 1977.His teaching has been honored by the Distinguished Teaching Award from the University of California, the Karlstrom Award from ACM, and the Mulligan Education Medal and Undergraduate Teaching Award from IEEE. Prof. Patterson received the IEEE Technical Achievement Award and the ACM Eckert-Mauchly Award for contributions to RISC, and he shared the IEEE Johnson Information Storage Award for contributions to RAID. He also shared the IEEE John von Neumann Medal and the C & C Prize with John Hennessy. Like his co-author, Prof. Patterson is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Computer History Museum, ACM, and IEEE, and he was elected to the National Academy of Engineering, the National Academy of Sciences, and the Silicon Valley Engineering Hall of Fame. He served on the Information Technology Advisory Committee to the U.S. President, as chair of the CS division in the Berkeley EECS department, as chair of the Computing Research Association, and as President of ACM. This record led to Distinguished Service Awards from ACM, CRA, and SIGARCH. John L. Hennessy is a Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Stanford University, where he has been a member of the faculty since 1977 and was, from 2000 to 2016, its tenth President. Prof. Hennessy is a Fellow of the IEEE and ACM; a member of the National Academy of Engineering, the National Academy of Science, and the American Philosophical Society; and a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Among his many awards are the 2001 Eckert-Mauchly Award for his contributions to RISC technology, the 2001 Seymour Cray Computer Engineering Award, and the 2000 John von Neumann Award, which he shared with David Patterson. He has also received seven honorary doctorates.
