| Summary: | Presents the fundamentals of hardware technologies, assembly language, computer arithmetic, pipelining, memory hierarchies and I/O- Provided by publisher. The performance of software systems is dramatically affected by how and software designers understand the basic hardware technologies at work in a system. Similarly, hardware designers must understand the long-term effects of their design decisions have on software applications. For readers in either category, this classic introduction to the field offers a deeper look at the computer. The relationship between software and hardware is proven and focuses on the fundamental concepts that are the basis for the design of the current team. Using a distinctive learning by evolution approach the authors present each idea from first principles, guiding readers through a series of practical examples that add incrementally more complex instructions until they have acquired an understanding of the whole of MIPS instructions and the fundamentals of assembly language. Computer arithmetic, pipelining, and memory hierarchies are treated with the same evolutionary approach with practical examples and additional drawings supporting each new level of sophistication. The design, performance and the importance of the systems I / S is also discussed in depth, and an entire chapter is devoted to the emerging architectures of multiprocessor systems. |
