Summary

Summary

After nearly six years as the field's leading reference, the second edition of this award-winning handbook reemerges with completely updated content and a brand new format. The Computer Engineering Handbook, Second Edition is now offered as a set of two carefully focused books that together encompass all aspects of the field. In addition to complete updates throughout the book to reflect the latest issues in low-power design, embedded processors, and new standards, this edition includes a new section on computer memory and storage as well as several new chapters on such topics as semiconductor memory circuits, stream and wireless processors, and nonvolatile memory technologies and applications.

Choice Review

This handbook is another work in a long-standing tradition expected from CRC Press. It is a monumental work that carefully walks the fine line between depth and breadth in the discipline. As the phrase "computer engineering" implies, this is a handbook on the theory and state of the art of the development of computing hardware, not software. Software is covered only as needed to make this resource complete. The book's 47 chapters are organized in 11 sections, ranging from foundational topics of computer architecture and design to an excellent tutorial on new directions in computing. For all practical purposes, every section includes an extensive collection of references. The editorial staff must be commended for pulling together an excellent index for this book, which makes the handbook a better reference source. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals.
