Focused primarily on hardware design and organization -- and the impact of software on the architecture -- this volume first covers the basic organization, design, and programming of a simple digital computer, then explores the separate functional units in detail. FEATURES: *develops an elementary computer to demonstrate by example the organization and design of digital computers. *uses a simple register transfer language to specify various computer operations.
