by Hesham El-Rewini

Computer architecture deals with the physical configuration, logical structure, formats, protocols, and operational sequences for processing data, controlling the configuration, and controlling the operations over a computer. It also encompasses word lengths, instruction codes, and the interrelationships among the main parts of a computer or group of computers. This two-volume set offers a comprehensive coverage of the field of computer organization and architecture.

A rather encyclopedic book on parallel processing structures. Somewhat good as an introduction, quite outdated on the hardware side. Aside from the abstract configurations described here, the rest of the content is likely to be obsolete by modern parallelism research. Nevertheless a good book overall.

Decent book covering advanced computer architecture, mostly a focus on parallel architectures.
