An effective way of organizing a computer is to divide it with one processor register and one instruction code format that has two parts. The former part of the ... More > instruction code specifies the operation that is to be performed and the latter indicates the address for the same. It indicates the address of the operand to the control.
Commonly, computers come with a single processor register assigned to them named, Accumulator (AC). Operations are performed with the content in AC and the memory operand. In case an operation in the instruction code does not require the operand from memory, the remaining bits can be utilized for other purposes.< Less
Over the last 50 years computing technologies have forever changed the way we learn, work, and most recently, how we live. This book provides a conceptual overview of the scientific concepts and... More > ideas underlying computing. Written for the lay reader, the book begins with the monoliths of Stonehenge, calculators like the abacus and the Pascaline, The Babbage Analytical and Difference Engines, the pioneering tube-based computers, the personal computer, and finally cell phones and tablets. Topics covered include algorithms, programming languages, operating systems, processors, computer architecture, and many others. The entire third section of the book concerns future directions of many of these topics. Throughout, the emphasis of the exposition is on the science and mathematics on which modern computing technologies are based.< Less

Of all the major problems encountered in computing, the most difficult is the management of the systems and their development. Unlike any engineering or architectural drawings, the systems cannot be... More > visibly represented as a model. Any building or machine can be shown as a set of drawings and as a three dimensional model, but the design and the build of the system cannot be seen, nor can it be represented on top of a desk.
In the case of an architectural concept, the designer will draw the plans and will supervise and delegate the tasks to builders to construct in a fashion, as close to perfect logistics as possible.
In modern computing, structured methodologies are used, where dataflow diagrams can be drawn, data can be modelled and at the end of the logical phase, the system can be prototyped and programmed.< Less
Computer Organization and Design Fundamentals takes the reader from the basic design principles of the modern digital computer to a top-level examination of its architecture. This book can serve... More > either as a textbook to an introductory course on computer hardware or as the basic text for the aspiring geek who wants to learn about digital design.
The material is presented in four parts. The first part describes how computers represent and manipulate numbers. The second part presents the tools used at all levels of binary design. The third part introduces the reader to computer system theory with topics such as memory, caches, hard drives, pipelining, and interrupts. The last part applies these theories through an introduction to the Intel 80x86 architecture and assembly language.
The material is presented using practical terms and examples with an aim toward providing anyone who works with computer systems the ability to use them more effectively through a better understanding of their design.< Less

This is an introductory, but detailed presentation of the binary arithmetic used in computers. It gives definitions of the two most widely used binary codes, straight and reflected (Gray and Lucal... More > variants), describes and analyzes the binary patterns characteristic of each and derives various alternate forms of logic for counting and addition.
It means to offer the reader on the one hand, a familiarization with the basic concepts and properties relevant for this particular topic of computer architecture and on the other hand some amount of practice in the three possible approaches to the subject: arithmetic, based on patterns and Boolean.
The book can be used as an introduction to more advanced texts on the subject of computer arithmetic. Those already familiar with the arithmetic aspects may find it useful as a source of examples and applications of Boolean algebra.< Less
