Synopsis
Dealing with computer architecture as well as computer organization anddesign, this fully updated book provides the basic knowledge necessary tounderstand the hardware operation of digital computers. Written to aidelectrical engineers, computer engineers, and computer scientists, thevolume includes: KEY FEATURES: the computer architecture,organization, and design associated with computer hardware • thevarious digital components used in the organization and design of digitalcomputers • detailed steps that a designer must go through in order todesign an elementary basic computer • the organization and architectureof the central processing unit • the organization and architecture ofinput-output and memory • the concept of multiprocessing • two newchapters on pipeline and vector processing • two sections devotedcompletely to the reduced instruction set computer (RISC) • and sampleworked-out problems to clarify topics.

February 18, 2004: I loved this book when I took a (Junior level) course on computer engineering. There's a lot of information about computers here, on several levels -- from designing ALUs and control units from logic gates, to how the assembler works, and the relationship between the instruction set and the hardware that implements it. His example processor design (in terms of presentation) is one the best I've seen...very informative and complete, but readable and not overwhelming. If you want a book on digital design proper, try Mano's _Digital Design_. If you want a medium-duty text on what's really going on in a computer, how to design a CPU, and a wealth of other computer architecture info, get this book! For something more hardcore, try Hennessy and Patterson's _Computer Organization and Design_.

November 19, 2000: one of the worst books about digital design, subjects are not covered completley, examples are not complete and not related to the chapter problems.
