Bücher von David Patterson

Die Übersetzung der sechsten Auflage des Standardwerks zur Rechnerorganisation »Computer Organization and Design« bietet dem Leser neue Beispiele, Übungsaufgaben sowie Stoff über mobiles Computing und die Cloud. Die Inhalte wurden verbessert und mit der Vorstellung neuer Prozessoren aktualisiert. Das sechste Kapitel wurde um einen Abschnitt über domänenspezifische Architekturen erweitert, ein neuer Ansatz, der am Beispiel von Googles Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) ausführlich dargestellt wird. Abschnitte zur Beschleunigung demonstrieren am Beispiel der Matrixmultiplikation verschiedene Optimierungsschritte, die wichtige Architekturprinzipien ausnutzen. Sieben bedeutende Konzepte der Computerarchitektur werden eingeführt und diskutiert: Performanz durch Parallelität, Performanz durch Pipelining, Performanz durch Vorhersagen, Speicherhierarchien, Abstraktion zur Vereinfachung des Designs, das Beschleunigen des häufigen Falls und Zuverlässigkeit durch Redundanz. Wie bei den vorherigen Auflagen ist ein MIPS-Prozessor der Kern, der verwendet wird, um die Grundlagen von Hardwaretechnologien, Assemblersprache, Computerarithmetik, Pipelining, Speicherhierarchien und der Ein-/Ausgabe zu vermitteln.Z

It is a known fact that throughout the centuries our language has changed. Definition of words and how they were used are often different from today, and some have been lost to time. In order to begin understanding God and Jesus through the accounts of his prophets, chosen kings, servants, teachers, and countless others, we must bridge the gap of time and make sure we are rightly dividing the Word in order to truly understand it. True understanding of the living Word is a lifelong journey that cannot be rushed or done quickly to keep a schedule. It is better to fully understand and retain a few scriptures than read through thousands but understand and retain nothing. In this first volume, we will begin our journey using one of the most popular translations of the Bible to explore scriptures surrounding several topics for your everyday life. Along with inspirational messages, prayers, and activities to reinforce what you have learned, the Word will stick with you long after you set this book down.

Argues that Holocaust representation has ethical implications fundamentally linked to questions of good and evil.

Explores Elie Wiesel's portraits of the sages of Judaism and elaborates on the Hasidic legacy from his life and his teaching.

Among the topics explored in this book are ways of viewing the soul, the relation between body and soul, environmentalist thought, the phenomenon of torture, and the philosophical and theological warrants for genocide. Presenting an analysis of abstract modes of thought that have contributed to genocide, the book argues that a Jewish model of concrete thinking may inform our understanding of the abstractions that can lead to genocide. Its aim is to draw upon distinctively Jewish categories of thought to demonstrate how the conceptual defacing of the other human being serves to promote the murder of peoples, and to suggest a way of thinking that might help prevent genocide.

An examination of the recorded memoirs of 50 Holocaust survivors. Patterson draws on the sacred texts of Jewish tradition and the philosophy of Fackenheim and Levinas. He discusses the recovery of tradition, recovery seen as recovery from illness, and recovery as a process which has no resolution.
