Tab Article

This book is a comprehensive reference that discusses almost all the latest and powerful microprocessors - Pentium, PowerPC, DEC Alpha AXP, SuperSPARC, microprocessors without interlocked pipeline stages (MIPS) R4400, MC88110, and HP PA-RISC, among others.

Students and professionals will find this book unique compared with the other books on the same subject because:

1 : The system architecture is placed in the beginning, followed by a short description of the various implementations : This is in line with the fact that system architecture is generally designed to survive several generations.
2 : Unlike other books, which cover the lower-level models (8086, MC68000) only, this book covers in great detail even the top-level models.
