"Professor Baer has developed an extremely appropriate and timely textbook for computer architecture, with a focus on how processors work, and how select micro-architectural features work. He is an excellent teacher, and has effectively presented and explained the concepts. The text covers all the major subjects necessary for a semester-long course in computer architecture." Patrick Crowley, Washington University in St. Louis
