It is more a reference work than anything else.<p>&gt; For all its focus on algorithmic performance I found no mention of pipeline stalls, designing for cache performance, branch prediction, multithreading, etc. which are all very fundamental aspects of good performance on modern hardware<p>Yes, but pure computer science is not worried about that (maybe about multithreading)<p>But yeah, for a more practical&#x2F;specific work there are better options (but it&#x27;s going to be specific to an area)
