About this title

Synopsis

Provides a basic knowledge of the organization and operation of computing systems, assuming no prior computer background. Describes the computer at a functional level, including the detailed register structure of the various functional units, and explains techniques for designing digital networks. Discussion develops from simple to complex computers, with consideration given to the hardware-software trade-off (i.e. the simpler the software, the more complex the hardware). The author uses a pedagogical machine to illustrate the computer as an evolving system, then, in the Appendix, relates the model to the Motorola MC68000 microprocessor. Contains many examples, exercises, and references.
