Product Description


The authors take a “No Mysteries” approach to computer systems. They interrelate three different viewpoints to provide a unique understanding of the subject: the perspective of the logic designer, the assembly language programmer, and the computer architect. The book has up-to-the-minute coverage of the latest developments in microprocessors, including ALU, pipelining, memory hierarchy, networks and the Internet. And, rather than focusing on a single type of architecture, Heuring and Jordan examine both CISC and RISC models at the ISA level using the unambiguous language of RTN (Register Transfer Notation), allowing for a more in-depth appreciation of different machine structures and functions. The authors examine general purpose machine, machine languages, and digital logic, some real machines, processor design, processor design—advanced topics, computer arithmetic and the arithmetic unit, memory system design, input and output, peripheral devices, communications, networking and the Internet. For computer science and engineering professionals. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: Computer Systems Design and Architecture (Hardcover) Heuring & Jordan covers all of the key areas of computer architecture but has sparse description. I did not like this book as a course text when I was in college and I still do not care for it as an engineering reference. For all aspects of computer architecture I find Patterson & Hennessy's explanations more clear and their examples more illuminating. Comment | | (Report this)
