- Presents broad, accurate coverage of processors, memory, and I/O.
- Includes an overview of assembly languages and programming paradigms.
- Helps the reader understand the impact of systems architecture on programming and debugging.
- Explains why hardware pipelining speeds execution and how programs are optimized to run on a pipeline architecture.
- Discusses design and implementation trade-offs.
- Contains "hands-on" lab exercises that allow students to put principles into practice.
- Provides a supporting Web site with instructor materials at http://www.eca.cs.purdue.edu
