Customer Reviews

This book very useful as a reference when I need to build multi-core systems

Much of this book is a dry read. Oh well, they all are. The value I find in this book is that I occasionally need to re-remember the design needs of a more complex ASIC/CPU/SoC design. Many of the issues related to these designs are often forgotten in the rush to get a design done on schedule. This book kicks my mind set back toward the principals and challenges in designing such a complex system.

It is really a very good book for Computer Science students

This is an excellent book especially for students who want to do Masters in Computer Science & Engineering. Concept of Parallel processing, multistage Unix Kernel etc. are excellent. More detailed discussion on SuperComputer Architecture with diagrams are required.
