Fundamentals of Computer Organization and Design (Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2003)

Computer science and engineering curricula have been evolving at a fast pace to keep up with the developments in the area.

There are separate books available on assembly language programming and computer organization.

There is a definite need to support the courses that combine assembly language programming and computer organization.

The book is suitable for a first course in computer organization.

The style is similar to that of the author's assembly language book in that it strongly supports self-study by students.

This organization facilitates compressed presentation of material.

Emphasis is also placed on related concepts to practical designs/chips.

Topics and features: - material presentation suitable for self-study;- concepts related to practical designs and implementations; - extensive examples and figures;- details provided on several digital logic simulation packages;- free MASM download instructions provided;- end-of-chapter exercises.
