Summary: A must-read for anyone interested in microprocessor design.
Review: This book is a terrific tutorial on superscalar hardware design principles and their implications for compilers. It is well organized and crystal-clear. The author, Mike Johnson (aka William M. Johnson), is Advanced Micro Devices' VP of Research and Development. He is an industry leader in microprocessor design and an excellent writer. The book is especially remarkable because it was written some years ago, derived from Mike's Ph.D. dissertation at Stanford. The principles are still current, and no other book explains them so well.
