Contents:
Ch. 1. Introduction -- Ch. 2. Number systems and codes -- Ch. 3. Combinational logic -- Ch. 4. Synchronous sequential circuits -- Ch. 5. A simple computer: organization and programming -- Ch. 6. A simple computer: hardware design -- Ch. 7. Input/output -- Ch. 8. Processor and instruction-set architecture -- Ch. 9. Memory and storage -- Ch. 10. Arithmetic/logic unit enhancement -- Ch. 11. Control unit enhancement -- Ch. 12. Advanced architecture -- Ch. 13. Embedded systems -- Ch. 14. Mobile processors and system on chip -- Ch. 15. Computer networks and distributed processing -- Ch. 16. Performance evaluation -- Appendices.
Abstract: The backbone of the book is a description of the complete design of a simple but complete hypothetical computer. The author then details the architectural features of contemporary computer systems (selected from Intel, MIPS, ARM, Motorola, Cray and various microcontrollers, etc.) as enhancements to the structure of the simple computer. He also introduces performance enhancements and advanced architectures including networks, distributed systems, GRIDs, and cloud computing. Computer Organization, Design, and Architecture, Fifth Edition deals with providing just enough details on the operation of the computer system for sophisticated users and programmers. Often, books on digital systems' architecture fall into four categories: logic design, computer organization, hardware design, and system architecture. This book captures the important attributes of these four categories to present a comprehensive text that includes pertinent hardware, software, and system aspects.
