The Architecture of Computer Hardware and Systems Software:
An Information Technology Approach, 5th or 6th Edition. Wiley, ISBN: 0-471-07325-3 , Irv Englander.
From the Publisher:
Most computer architecture books are just too technical and
complex. Focusing on specific technology, they often bypass the basics
and are outdated as quickly as technology advances. Now, Irv
Englander's gentle-but-thorough introduction to computer architecture
and systems software provides just the right amount of technical
detail you'll need to make successful decisions in your future career.
The text covers all the basics in an accessible, easy-to-understand
way. Organized in a form that parallels an actual computer system,
entire sections are devoted to principles of data, hardware, and
software, with computer interconnection, clustering, and networking
integrated into the material to emphasize the importance of computer
and system structure. Assuming only basic knowledge, these sections
build up to an in-depth understanding of each topic and how they
interrelate to make up a computer system.
-All chapters have been thoroughly updated to reflect current
technology. -Revised with even clearer discussions of virtual
storage, the operation of memory, and modern CPU architectures.
-Programming examples are written in a C++/Java-like pseudocode.
-Emphasizes the computer aspects of clustering and networking, rather
than the data communication aspects. -Provide an understanding
of underlying, non-changing basics of computers, so that you can make
knowledgeable decisions about systems. -Introduce new
technological concepts without overwhelming you with too much detail.
-Examples cover a broad spectrum of hardware and software systems,
from personal computers to mainframes. -Integrates discussions of
hardware and software throughout, and explores the symbiosis between
them.
