Excellent Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
Frankly, modern computer engineering is boring. Old computer designs have a lot of strange, creative ideas. Gordon Bell picked influential, historic and commercial computers and critiqued them. When it was written, a lot of this information was far more available than now. Worth it just for the detailed history, as well as discussions of why some of these were failures, and some are now-forgotten successes.
The first great compilation on computer architectures
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This books pulls together, in original papers plus informed editorial commentary, most of what had been tried, and much of what was known about computer architecture in 1971. Gordon Bell himself was an influential architect (PDP-11, VAX), but also a very perceptive critic.
