In Praise of
Digital Design
and Computer Architecture
Harris and Harris have taken the popular pedagogy from
Computer
Organization and Design
to the next level of refinement, showing in detail
how to build a MIPS microprocessor in both SystemVerilog and VHDL.
With the exciting opportunity that students have to run large digital designs
on modern FGPAs, the approach the authors take in this book is both
informative and enlightening.

Digital Design and Computer Architecture
brings a fresh perspective to an
old discipline. Many textbooks tend to resemble overgrown shrubs, but
Harris and Harris have managed to prune away the deadwood while pre-
serving the fundamentals and presenting them in a contemporary context.
In doing so, they offer a text that will benefit students interested in design-
ing solutions for tomorrow’s challenges.

Harris and Harris have a pleasant and informative writing style. Their
treatment of the material is at a good level for introducing students to com-
puter engineering with plenty of helpful diagrams. Combinational circuits,
microarchitecture, and memory systems are handled particularly well.
James Pinter-Lucke

Harris and Harris have written a book that is very clear and easy to
understand. The exercises are well-designed and the real-world examples
are a nice touch. The lengthy and confusing explanations often found in
similar textbooks are not seen here. It’s obvious that the authors have
devoted a great deal of time and effort to create an accessible text. I
strongly recommend
Digital Design and Computer Architecture.

Harris and Harris have created the first book that successfully combines
digital system design with computer architecture.
Digital Design and
Computer Architecture
is a much-welcomed text that extensively explores
digital systems designs and explains the MIPS architecture in fantastic
detail. I highly recommend this book.

Digital Design and Computer Architecture
is a brilliant book. Harris and
Harris seamlessly tie together all the important elements in microproces-
sor design—transistors, circuits, logic gates, finite state machines, memo-
ries, arithmetic units—and conclude with computer architecture. This text
is an excellent guide for understanding how complex systems can be flaw-
lessly designed.

Digital Design and Computer Architecture
is a very well-written book
that will appeal to both young engineers who are learning these subjects
for the first time and also to the experienced engineers who want to use
this book as a reference. I highly recommend it.

About the Authors
David Money Harris
is a professor of engineering at Harvey Mudd
College. He received his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Stanford
University and his M.Eng. in electrical engineering and computer science
from MIT. Before attending Stanford, he worked at Intel as a logic and
circuit designer on the Itanium and Pentium II processors. Since then, he
has consulted at Sun Microsystems, Hewlett-Packard, Evans
&
Sutherland,
and other design companies.
David’s passions include teaching, building chips, and exploring the
outdoors. When he is not at work, he can usually be found hiking, moun-
taineering, or rock climbing. He particularly enjoys hiking with his three
sons. David holds about a dozen patents and is the author of three other
textbooks on chip design, as well as four guidebooks to the Southern
California mountains.
Sarah L. Harris
is an associate professor of engineering at Harvey Mudd
College. She received her Ph.D. and M.S. in electrical engineering from
Stanford University. Before attending Stanford, she received a B.S. in elec-
trical and computer engineering from Brigham Young University. Sarah
has also worked at Hewlett-Packard, the San Diego Supercomputer Cen-
ter, and Nvidia.
Sarah loves teaching and experimenting in the lab. When she is not
working or running after her two sons, you can find her playing music
with friends, hiking, kayaking, biking, and traveling.
