Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective, 3/e

Page quality looks decent and the books content are a must if you want to learn the advance mechanics.

5 Stars only for excellent Content of book. This Global Edition (with printed sold only in India on cover) book has poor binding, poor quality print pages seems like poor photocopy pages and Poor quality cover pages, although all Pearson Indian Edition Books available in same conditions. Apart from this the book has step by step approach for system architecture and excellent explanation of topics. Although the prerequisites of book is C but I found it to be a great brush up source to the C language and good intro to assembly as well.

Good

good book for those who need basics to advance level concepts of how a computer and networking works.. also service of amazon was great..

the book came from bookswagon, its was of spotless quality and was delivered 10 days earlier, it wasn't even out for delivery

Its a very good book and it's organization is fantastic as well. The most Important thing about this book is that it introduces Computer architecture from a very practice oriented viewpoint.What happens underneath your C code and How the computer deals with it.

Good for those who have basic knowledge of c programming and little bit of memory management understanding in C.

One of the best books available in computer systems. It covers topics such as numerical representation, assembly, buffer overflow vulnerabilities, caches, virtual memory, dynamic memory allocation, signals, concurrency and network programming. All of these topics are essential for a good systems understanding and the book covers them beautifully. The good part about 3rd edition that it covers 64 bit instruction set which is in sync with modern times.

I guess you get what you paid for bad binding, the book was damaged and was poorly packaged

La edición que me ha llegado, además de tener una calidad de impresión mediocre, ha venido deteriorada, con arrugas en la portada y esquinas dobladas

(Hardcover) Condition: Excellent. Very minor wear on the corners of the cover, pages appear brand new. Content: Excellent. Outlines structure of computer systems and why it’s useful information for optimizing programs. Topics are fairly dense but written in an easy to understand way.

This product (paperback edition) is poorly made. The cover is of poor quality, the pages are crooked and text is cropped off. It appears to be printed in India for distribution in India.

This book presents computer architecture, an often challenging subject, in a lively and practical way. The book starts with fundamental concepts and incrementally introduces more confusing topics. Strengths: 1. The book’s approach is heavily dependent on practice. There are loads of practice examples and answers to the questions provided in the book. That way, students can compare their work examples with the answers in the book. 2. Concepts in the book are explained from first principle. Detailed illustrations are given to clarify key concepts and ideas. 3. Sharpens programming skills. C Programming is used heavily in this book. For those who understand C, the codes that support discussions can easily be applied to more significant problems. Students new to C programming get an opportunity to learn C programming from the “Asides” in the book. Weaknesses: 1. Some answers to practice problems are wrong. Students could do well cross-checking those answers elsewhere. 2. Using other programming languages in addition to C ( perhaps C++ or Java) to explain concepts will come in handy. 3. This particular product has weak pages. Care should be taken when flipping pages. Overall, this book is a must-have for anyone keen on understanding the core concepts of computer architecture while shaping their programming skills. Moreover, the book arrived on time and was in good condition.
