We’re pretty sure that won’t be said about the fifth edition. We believe most of the excitement is at the extremes in size of computing, with personal mobile devices (PMDs) such as cell phones and tablets as the clients and warehouse-scale computers offering cloud computing as the server. (Observant readers may seen the hint for cloud computing on the cover.) We are struck by the common theme of these two extremes in cost, performance, and energy efficiency despite their difference in size. As a result, the running context through each chapter is computing for PMDs and for warehouse scale computers, and Chapter 6 is a brand-new chapter on the latter topic. The other theme is parallelism in all its forms. We first idetify the two types of application-level parallelism in Chapter 1: data-level parallelism (DLP), which arises because there are many data it
