| Summary, etc. | The Physics of Computing gives a foundational view of the<br/> physical principles underlying computers. Performance,<br/> power, thermal behavior, and reliability are all harder and<br/> harder to achieve as transistors shrink to nanometer scales.<br/> This book describes the physics of computing at all levels<br/> of abstraction from single gates to complete computer<br/> systems. It can be used as a course for juniors or seniors<br/> in computer engineering and electrical engineering, and can<br/> also be used to teach students in other scientific<br/> disciplines important concepts in computing. For electrical<br/> engineering, the book provides the fundamentals of computing<br/> that link core concepts to computing. For computer science,<br/> it provides foundations of key challenges such as power<br/> consumption, performance, and thermal. The book can also be<br/> used as a technical reference by professionals. |
