Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Focused primarily on hardware design and organization — and the impact of software on the architecture — this volume first covers the basic organization, design, and programming of a simple digital computer, then explores the separate functional units in detail.

FEATURES:

  • develops an elementary computer to demonstrate by example the organization and design of digital computers.
  • uses a simple register transfer language to specify various computer operations.

Book News Annotation:

A revised and updated textbook that provides the basic knowledge necessary to understand the hardware operation of digital computers and covers the three subjects associated with computer hardware, namely architecture, organization, and design. This edition (2nd, 1982) adds new chapters on pipeline and vector processing, and on multiprocessors, and new problems for 11 of the 13 chapters. Suitable for a course in computer hardware systems in an electrical engineering, computer engineering, or computer science department.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Obviously it is a great book from beginner to expert in computer science. It's also good for both the software and hardware fields.
