Description Digital Design and Computer Architecture is designed for courses that combine digital logic design with computer organization/architecture
or that teach these subjects as a two-course sequence. Digital Design and Computer Architecture begins with a modern approach
by rigorously covering the fundamentals of digital logic design and then introducing Hardware Description Languages (HDLs). Featuring
examples of the two most widely-used HDLs, VHDL and Verilog, the first half of the text prepares the reader for what follows in the second:
the design of a MIPS Processor. By the end of Digital Design and Computer Architecture, readers will be able to build their own microprocessor
and will have a top-to-bottom understanding of how it works--even if they have no formal background in design or architecture beyond
an introductory class. David Harris and Sarah Harris combine an engaging and humorous writing style with an updated and hands-on approach
to digital design.
Audience
students taking a course that combines digital logic and computer architecture or students taking a two-quarter sequence in digital logic and computer organization/architecture
