Vincent P. Heuring, “Computer Systems Design and Architecture”
English | ISBN: 080534330X | 1996 | PDF | 600 pages | 28,3 MB

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 text has up-to-the-minute coverage of the latest developments in microprocessors, including ALU, pipelining, memory hierarchy, networks and the Internet.
