DigitalDesignandComputerArchitecture

In Praise of Digital Design and Computer Architecture Harris and Harris have taken the popular pedagogy from Computer Organization and Design to the next level of refinement, showing in detail how to build a MIPS microprocessor in both SystemVerilog and VHDL. With the exciting opportunity that students have to run large digital designs on modern FGPAs, the approach the authors take in this book is both informative and enlightening. David A. Patterson University of California, Berkeley Digital Design and Computer Architecture brings a fresh perspective to an old discipline. Many textbooks tend to resemble overgrown shrubs, but Harris and Harris have managed to prune away the deadwood while pre- serving the fundamentals and presenting them in a contemporary context. In doing so, they offer a text that will benefit students interested in design- ing solutions for tomorrow’s challenges. Jim Frenzel University of Idaho Harris and Harris have a pleasant and informative writing style. Their treatment of the material is at a good level for introducing students to com- puter engineering with plenty of helpful diagrams. Combinational ......
