<b>What€s New in the Third Edition, Revised Printing</b> <br><br>The same great book gets better! This revised printing features all of the original content along with these additional features:<br><br>€ Appendix A (Assemblers, Linkers, and the SPIM Simulator) has been moved from the CD-ROM into the printed book<br><br>€ Corrections and bug fixes<br><br><b>Third Edition features</b><br><br><i>New pedagogical features</i><br><br>€ Understanding Program Performance <br>- Analyzes key performance issues from the programmer€s perspective <br>€ Check Yourself Questions <br>- Helps students assess their understanding of key points of a section <br>€ Computers In the Real World <br>- Illustrates the diversity of applications of computing technology beyond traditional desktop and servers <br>€ For More Practice <br>- Provides students with additional problems they can tackle <br>€ In More Depth <br>- Presents new information and challenging exercises for the advanced student<br> <br><i>New reference features</i> <br><br>€ Highlighted glossary terms and definitions appear on the book page, as bold-faced entries in the index, and as a separate and searchable reference on the CD. <br>€ A complete index of the material in the book and on the CD appears in the printed index and the CD includes a fully searchable version of the same index. <br>€ Historical Perspectives and Further Readings have been updated and expanded to include the history of software R&D. <br>€ CD-Library provides materials collected from the web which directly support the text. <br><br><br>In addition to thoroughly updating every aspect of the text to reflect the most current computing technology, the third edition <br><br>€ Uses standard 32-bit MIPS 32 as the primary teaching ISA. <br>€ Presents the assembler-to-HLL translations in both C and Java. <br>€ Highlights the latest developments in architecture in Real Stuff sections: <br>- Intel IA-32 <br>- Power PC 604 <br>- Google€s PC cluster <br>- Pentium P4 <br>- SPEC CPU2000 benchmark suite for processors <br>- SPEC Web99 benchmark for web servers <br>- EEMBC benchmark for embedded systems <br>- AMD Opteron memory hierarchy <br>- AMD vs. 1A-64 <br><br><i>New support for distinct course goals</i> <br><br>Many of the adopters who have used our book throughout its two editions are refining their courses with a greater hardware or software focus. We have provided new material to support these course goals: <br><br><i>New material to support a Hardware Focus</i> <br><br>€ Using logic design conventions <br>€ Designing with hardware description languages <br>€ Advanced pipelining <br>€ Designing with FPGAs <br>€ HDL simulators and tutorials <br>€ Xilinx CAD tools <br><br><i>New material to support a Software Focus</i> <br><br>€ How compilers work <br>€ How to optimize compilers <br>€ How to implement object oriented languages <br>€ MIPS simulator and tutorial <br>€ History sections on programming languages, compilers, operating systems and databases <br><br><br><b>On the CD</b><br><br>€ <b>NEW:</b> Search function to search for content on both the CD-ROM and the printed text<br>€ CD-Bars: Full length sections that are introduced in the book and presented on the CD <br>€ CD-Appendixes: Appendices B-D <br>€ CD-Library: Materials collected from the web which directly support the text <br>€ CD-Exercises: For More Practice provides exercises and solutions for self-study<br>€ In More Depth presents new information and challenging exercises for the advanced or curious student <br>€ Glossary: Terms that are defined in the text are collected in this searchable reference <br>€ Further Reading: References are organized by the chapter they support <br>€ Software: HDL simulators, MIPS simulators, and FPGA design tools <br>€ Tutorials: SPIM, Verilog, and VHDL <br>€ Additional Support: Processor Models, Labs, Homeworks, Index covering the book and CD contents <br><br><b>Instructor Support </b><br><br>Instructor support provided on <i>textbooks.elsevier.com</i>:<br><br>€ Solutions to all the exercises <br>€ Figures from the book in a number of formats <br>€ Lecture slides prepared by the authors and other instructors <br>€ Lecture notes <br><br>*For the Revised Printing, Appendix A appears in the printed book rather than on the CD. This is the only change.<br>*Explains the latest benchmarking software including SPEC CPU2000 suite for processors, SPEC Web99 for web servers, and EEMBC for embedded systems<br>*Features the latest developments of the Intel IA-32 architecture as well as the Power PC 604, the AMD Opteron Memory, and the Intrinsity FastMATH processor.<br>*Compares MIPs assembler code to both C and Java
