Computer architecture : a quantitative approach

Hennessy, John L. (Author). Patterson, David A. (Added Author). Asanović, Krste. (Added Author).

Summary: The computing world is in the middle of a revolution: mobile clients and cloud computing have emerged as the dominant paradigms driving programming and hardware innovation. This book focuses on the shift, exploring the ways in which software and technology in the 'cloud' are accessed by cell phones, tablets, laptops, and more.
