作者以Intel x86系列通用處理器和ARM系列嵌入式處理器作為主要考察實例貫穿全書，將當(dāng)代計算機系統(tǒng)性能設(shè)計問題和計算機組織與結(jié)構(gòu)的基本概念及原理緊密聯(lián)系起來。通過介紹計算機的發(fā)展與演變引入性能評價和性能設(shè)計的概念，然后以自頂而下的方式逐層展開介紹計算機系統(tǒng)、存儲器體系結(jié)構(gòu)、I/O及互連、計算機算術(shù)、指令集體系結(jié)構(gòu)的設(shè)計及其實現(xiàn)技術(shù)，最后還介紹了處理器的各種并行組織技術(shù)。全書力求追蹤新技術(shù)步伐，添加了高速點到點互連技術(shù)、PCIe互連結(jié)構(gòu)、固態(tài)驅(qū)動器與閃存、當(dāng)今主機技術(shù)等新技術(shù)的討論。
William Stallings在計算機安全、計算機網(wǎng)絡(luò)和計算機系統(tǒng)結(jié)構(gòu)的技術(shù)開發(fā)的廣泛領(lǐng)域作出了獨特的貢獻。他撰寫了多部著作，并在許多ACM和IEEE出版物上發(fā)表文章，包括IEEE和ACM的計算評論會議。 他先后11次獲得年度最佳計算機科學(xué)教科書獎和學(xué)術(shù)作者協(xié)會獎。
