Description
Hardware and Computer Organization is a practical introduction to the architecture of modern microprocessors for students and professional
alike. It is designed to take practicing professionals ?under the hood? of a PC and provide them with an understanding of the basics
of the complex machine that has become such a pervasive part of our everyday life. It clearly explains how hardware and software cooperatively
interact to accomplish real-world tasks.
Instead of simply demonstrating how to design a computer?s hardware, it provides an understanding
of the total machine, highlighting strengths and weaknesses, explaining how to deal with memory and how to write efficient assemble code
that interacts with and takes best advantage of the underlying hardware.
Additionally, the book has a unique emphasis on facilitating
the ability to make real engineering decisions in industry when working with anything from simple 8-bit microprocessors in embedded applications
to PCs and workstations. It demystifies the link between the behaviour of the code and the operation of the machine, while helping engineers
and students to better understand the limitations imposed by finite speed and resources.
This book is divided into three major sections:
– Part 1: Hardware Fundamentals and Digital Design – Part 2: Assembly Language Programming – Part 3: Computer Architecture
Audience
PRIMARY MARKET: ECE/Software engineering students
SECONDARY MARKET: , Embedded systems designers, professional engineers needing to understand the fundamentals of computer hardware, hobbyists
