For graduate and undergraduate courses in computer science, computer engineering, and electrical engineering.
Comprehensively covers processor and computer design fundamentals
Computer Organization and Architecture, 11th Edition is about the structure and function of computers. Its purpose is to present, as clearly and completely as possible, the nature and characteristics of modern-day computer systems. Written in a clear, concise, and engaging style, author William Stallings provides a thorough discussion of the fundamentals of computer organization and architecture and relates these to contemporary design issues. Subjects such as I/O functions and structures, RISC, and parallel processors are thoroughly explored alongside real-world examples that enhance the text and build student interest. Incorporating brand-new material and strengthened pedagogy, the 11th Edition keeps students up to date with recent innovations and improvements in the field of computer organization and architecture.

Chapter updates keep the text current
A discussion of multichip modules (MCMs), has been added to Chapter 1.
Updated treatment of SPEC benchmarks in Chapter 2 covers the new SPEC CPU2017 benchmark suite.
A chapter on memory hierarchy expands on material that was in the cache memory chapter and adds expanded coverage of both the principle of locality and the memory hierarchy.
The cache memory chapter (Chapter 5) now includes expanded treatment of logical cache organization, including new figures, to improve overall clarity.
Coverage of content-addressable memory, write allocate, and no write allocate policies have been added to Chapter 5.
A new section on the increasingly popular Embedded DRAM, or eDRAM, is included in Chapter 6.
