Most students only have experience with high-level programming languages, and almost no experience tinkering with electronics and hardware. As such, this text is revised to follow a top-down approach, moving from discussions on how a compiler transforms a source program into binary code and data, to explanations of how a computer represents data and code in binary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditional chapters cover parallelism and data pipelining, assessing the performance of computer systems, and the important topic of power and energy consumption. Exclusive to this third edition, a new chapter explains multicore processors and how coherence hardware provides a consistent view of the values in memory even though each core has its own cache.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable for a one-semester undergraduate course, this clear, concise, and easy-to-read textbook offers an ideal introduction to computer architecture for students studying computer programming.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Douglas Comer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51638430007512,"sku":"9781032727196","price":2800.0,"currency_code":"EGP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0807\/5572\/0408\/files\/EssentialsofComputerArchitecture.jpg?v=1777969791","url":"https:\/\/www.abcacademic.com\/products\/essentials-of-computer-architecture","provider":"Academic Bookshop Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
