As of 2007-2011, Patterson and Hennessy books were in use in courses I took as well. Great stuff, but the treatment on GPUs was a little out of date even a year or two after being published (GPGPU was just getting started and evolving rapidly).



Their Computer Organization and Design, had a new edition in 2013, that may cover GPU stuff better, havn't read it myself thou.

Still havn't seen a book that covers SIMD very well?


* Features the Intel Core i7, ARM Cortex-A8 and NVIDIA Fermi GPU as real-world examples throughout the book

Sounds promising. The 4th edition just had the GPU content stuffed into an appendix.
