4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good overview of computer architecture, January 7, 2006

This review is from: Schaum's Outline of Computer Architecture (Schaum's Outline Series) (Paperback)
Quite frankly, I was surprised at the usefulness of this Schaum's outline. I didn't think that the Schaum's outline format would work for a subject like computer architecture, but it does. All aspects of computer architecture are covered from computer arithmetic to processor design to memory systems to the advanced topic of multiprocessing. The format of the outline is a little different from the Schaum's usual formula. Each chapter consists of an "Objectives" section, followed by an introduction, followed by the various subsections of that chapter. There are examples and exercises on instruction set design, program design, block diagrams, and quite a few mathematical problems. This book is probably best suited to the advanced undergraduate or for self-study of the subject. If you are a graduate student that is using Hennessy's "Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach" the level of difficulty of the mathematical problems in that book is not matched by this one, and you should look for another source. Otherwise I recommend this guide for most students of computer architecture.

This is a nice book for review of the basic concepts of computer architecture. Like other Schaum's outlines books, the concepts are explained in a concise manner with examples and solved problems to reinforce and clarify the material.

This review is from: Schaum's Outline of Computer Architecture (Schaum's Outline Series) (Paperback)
I bought this book two years ago to prep for the compsci GRE. Didn't use it. It's okay, but I didn't take the GRE and still got into my top grad school.
