Basic Computer Architecture
This book is a comprehensive text on basic, undergraduate-level computer architecture. It starts from theoretical preliminaries and simple Boolean algebra. After a quick discussion on logic gates, it describes three classes of assembly languages: a custom RISC ISA called SimpleRisc, ARM, and x86. In the next part, a processor is designed for the SimpleRisc ISA from scratch. This includes the combinational units, ALUs, processor, basic 5-stage pipeline, and a microcode-based design. The last part of the book discusses caches, virtual memory, parallel programming, multiprocessors, storage devices and modern I/O systems. The book's website has links to slides for each chapter and video lectures hosted on YouTube.
Computer Architecture: A Minimalist Perspective
Author: William F. Gilreath
language: en
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
Release Date: 2003-03-31
This book examines computer architecture, computability theory, and the history of computers from the perspective of minimalist computing - a framework in which the instruction set consists of a single instruction. This approach is different than that taken in any other computer architecture text, and it is a bold step. The audience for this book is researchers, computer hardware engineers, software engineers, and systems engineers who are looking for a fresh, unique perspective on computer architecture. Upper division undergraduate students and early graduate students studying computer architecture, computer organization, or embedded systems will also find this book useful. A typical course title might be "Special Topics in Computer Architecture." The organization ofthe book is as follows. First, the reasons for studying such an "esoteric" subject are given. Then, the history and evolution of instruction sets is studied with an emphasis on how modern computing has features ofone instruction computing. Also, previous computer systems are reviewed to show how their features relate to one instruction computers. Next, the primary forms of one instruction set computing are examined. The theories of computation and of Turing machines are also reviewed to examine the theoretical nature of one instruction computers. Other processor architectures and instruction sets are then mapped into single instructions to illustrate the features of both types of one instruction computers. In doing so, the features of the processor being mapped are highlighted.
Computer Architecture: Digital Circuits To Microprocessors
An introductory text to computer architecture, this comprehensive volume covers the concepts from logic gates to advanced computer architecture. It comes with a full spectrum of exercises and web-downloadable support materials, including assembler and simulator, which can be used in the context of different courses. The authors also make available a hardware description, which can be used in labs and assignments, for hands-on experimentation with an actual, simple processor.This unique compendium is a useful reference for undergraduates, graduates and professionals majoring in computer engineering, circuits and systems, software engineering, biomedical engineering and aerospace engineering.Related Link(s)
