- chewxy 9y agoPatterson. Computer Architecture is their landmark book
- adultSwim 9y agoTo me, Patterson is the real superstar of the duo.
- mediocrejoker 9y agoComputer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach is a seminal text in computer science by John L. Hennessy and David A. Patterson. From what little I've read of it for my classes in the subject, it's well written and accessible.
- stochastic_monk 9y agoThanks! I'm a CS PhD student, but my undergrad and master's are in physics, so I didn't go through all of the same steps many did in their CS curricula.
- dmoy 9y agoIt is usually in graduate courses, I guess maybe some better schools' undergrad programs. Agree with gp, very well written text. Probably the only class textbook that I have actually read entirely. (10 years ago or whatever)
- stochastic_monk 9y agoI’m sure H&P is the CLRS of architecture.
