Computer System Architecture and Organization, As per AICTE
Description
Computer System Architecture and Organization has a good mix of hardware- and software-oriented topics. A comprehensive and up-to-date view of the architecture and internal organization of computers has been presented in the book. The processor design has been dealt with in an in-depth manner. Assuming the readers are familiar with assembly language and digital logic design, the CPU design is explained. For readers who do not have the prerequisite knowledge in Digital Logic design, an Appendix is supplemented at the end.
