Description
Book SynopsisThis unique and classroom-proven text provides a hands-on introduction to the design of computer systems. It depicts, step by step, the design and programming of a simple but complete hypothetical computer, followed by detailed architectural features of existing computer systems as enhancements to the structure of the simple computer. This treatment integrates the four categories of digital systems architecture: logic design, computer organization, computer hardware, and computer system architecture.
This edition incorporates updates to reflect contemporary organizations and devices, to include Graphics processing Units (GPU), Quantum computing and the latest supercomputer systems. It also includes the description of the two popular Instruction Set Architectures (ARM and RISC-V).
The book is suitable for a one- or two-semester undergraduate or beginning graduate course in computer science and computer engineering, Computer Organization, Design, and Architecture and previ
