商品描述

The Physics of Computing gives a foundational view of the physical principles underlying computers. Performance, power, thermal behavior, and reliability are all harder and harder to achieve as transistors shrink to nanometer scales. This book describes the physics of computing at all levels of abstraction from single gates to complete computer systems.

It can be used as a course for juniors or seniors in computer engineering and electrical engineering, and can also be used to teach students in other scientific disciplines important concepts in computing. For electrical engineering, the book provides the fundamentals of computing that link core concepts to computing. For computer science, it provides foundations of key challenges such as power consumption, performance, and thermal. The book can also be used as a technical reference by professionals.

  • Links fundamental physics to the key challenges in computer design, including memory wall, power wall, reliability
  • Provides all of the background necessary to understand the physical underpinnings of key computing concepts
  • Covers all the major physical phenomena in computing from transistors to systems, including logic, interconnect, memory, clocking, I/O

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《計算物理學》提供了計算機背後物理原理的基礎觀點。隨著晶體管縮小到納米尺度,性能、功耗、熱行為和可靠性都變得越來越難以實現。本書描述了從單個閘到完整計算機系統的各個抽象層次上的計算物理學。

本書可用作電腦工程和電氣工程大三或大四學生的課程教材,也可用於教授其他科學學科的學生計算機中的重要概念。對於電氣工程,本書提供了將核心概念與計算機相關聯的計算基礎。對於計算機科學,它提供了關於功耗、性能和熱問題等關鍵挑戰的基礎知識。本書還可作為專業人士的技術參考書。

本書連接了基礎物理學與計算設計中的關鍵挑戰,包括記憶體壁、功耗壁和可靠性。它提供了理解計算概念物理基礎所需的所有背景知識。涵蓋了從晶體管到系統的所有主要計算物理現象,包括邏輯、互連、記憶體、時鐘和輸入/輸出。
