Case Study 1

The past trends of computer architecture are suggesting that new bold design.

for examples:

the escalation of chip-level parallelism
=> introduced an imbalance between computation and data access and forced decisions to be made regarding the relative importance of single-thread and multi-thread performance.
the introduction of flash memory
=>
the design of storage hierarchies and I/O intensive software.
A survey of some technology challenges and opportunities.
=> discuss some possible impacts on processor and system design.

Any time you take a look at the possible changes in trends when it comes to architecture and the world of building and design, it is imperative that we realize that trends in this field are very well known for coming around full circle. Architects are always taking bits and pieces of visions and designs of the past and molding them into something new and exciting.

At the same time, some of the most stunning new structures are strikingly similar. What goes around definitely comes around in the architectural field, and you really have to be on top of all of the current trends as well as those from the past if you want to be a successful architect. Architects were catering to the needs of their clients by building posh living quarters. It begs one to wonder if the trends in architecture have a lot to do with the current state of the economy and the environment as buildings are designed.

The present trends of computer architecture are focus on fundamental techniques for designing real machines and maximizing their cost and performance in computer design.


To provide comprehensive and completely up-to-date performance coverage of computer organization and architecture including memory. It will also provides clear comprehensive presentation of the modern computer today and to emphasize both fundamental principles and the critical role of performance in driving computer design.
