Computer Architecture Techniques for Power-Efficiency (Synthesis Lectures on Computer Architecture)

In the last few years, power dissipation has become an important design constraint, on par with performance, in the design of new computer systems. Get Computer Architecture Techniques for Power-Efficiency computer books for free.
Whereas in the past, the primary job of the computer architect was to translate improvements in operating frequency and transistor count into performance, now power efficiency must be taken into account at every step of the design process. While for some time, architects have been successful in delivering 40% to 50% annual improvement in processor performance, costs that were previously brushed aside eventually caught up. The most critical of these costs is the inexorable increase in power dissipation and power density in processors. Power dissipation issues have catalyzed new topic areas in computer Check Computer Architecture Techniques for Power-Efficiency our best computer books for 2013.
