Computer Organization and Design RISC-V Edition: The Hardware Software Interface (ISSN)

The RISC-V Edition of Computer Organization and Design is a comprehensive and readable introduction to computer science, featuring the award-winning textbook from Patterson and Hennessy that has been used by over 40,000 students per year.

This version includes the RISC-V open source instruction set architecture, the first open source architecture designed for modern computing environments such as cloud computing, mobile devices, and other embedded systems.

The book covers parallelism in-depth with examples and content highlighting parallel hardware and software topics, and focuses on 64-bit address, ISA to 32-bit address, and ISA for RISC-V because 32-bit RISC-V ISA is simpler to explain, and 32-bit address computers are still best for applications like embedded computing and IoT.

The book also includes new sections on Domain Specific Architectures (DSA) and provides updates on all real-world examples in the book.

With a foreword by David Patterson and John Hennessy, this text is a must-read for anyone interested in computer science and technology.
