Wolf, Marilyn,
The Physics of computing / Marilyn Wolf. - xi, 264 pages ; 24 cm.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 253-258) and index.
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.
