An authoritative book for hardware and software designers. Caches are by far the simplest and most effective mechanism for improving computer performance. This

This book describes the architecture of microprocessors from simple in-order short pipeline designs to out-of-order superscalars.

Is your memory hierarchy stopping your microprocessor from performing at the high level it should be? Memory Systems: Cache, DRAM, Disk shows you how to resolve

A key determinant of overall system performance and power dissipation is the cache hierarchy since access to off-chip memory consumes many more cycles and energ
