Edition DescriptionRevised edition

SynopsisIdeal for courses in computer hardware, architecture, or digital design, The Principles of Computer Hardware, 3/e, provides a comprehensive introduction to the subject. In Alan Clement's noted student-friendly style, it covers core topics including Boolean algebra and logic design; number bases and binary arithmetic; the CPU; assembly language; memory systems; and input/output methods and devices. It then continues with a discussion of the related topics of computer peripherals, the hardware aspects of the operating system, and data communications. This accessible text covers both the 68000 and ARM architectures in a tutorial/lab-based style suitable for a variety of courses. All chapters in this third edition have been rigorously updated. Powerful new Windows-based simulation software allows students to visualize the design of digital circuits. The chapter on RISC has been completely rewritten to include the ARM computer, and the tutorial-based introduction to assembly language now includes many examples., Ideal for courses in computer hardware, architecture, or digital design, The Principles of Computer Hardware, 3/e , provides a comprehensive introduction to the subject.

The chapter on RISC has been completely rewritten to include the ARM computer, and the tutorial-based introduction to assembly language now includes many examples., Principles of Computer Hardware, now in its third edition, provides a first course in computer architecture or computer organization for undergraduates. The book covers the core topics of such a course, including Boolean algebra and logic design; number bases and binary arithmetic; the CPU; assembly language; memory systems; and input/output methods and devices. It then goes on to cover the related topics of computer peripherals such as printers; the hardware aspects of the operating system; and data communications, and hence provides a broader overview of the subject. Its readable, tutorial-based approach makes it an accessible introduction to the subject. The book has extensive in-depth coverage of two microprocessors, one of which (the 68000) is widely used in education. All chapters in the new edition have been updated. Major updates include: ( powerful software simulations of digital systems to accompany the chapters on digital design; ( a tutorial-based introduction to assembly language, including many examples; ( a completely rewritten chapter on RISC, which now covers the ARM computer., Computer hardware, computer architecture and digital design are core courses undertaken by undergraduate computer scientists and engineers. It enables students to understand how computers are constructed and how they work. Principles of computer hardware, now in its third edition, provides a readable, tutorial-based introduction to the subject. As well as covering the core topics of computer hardware courses it also covers related topics, giving a broad overview of the subject. All chapters have been updated from the second edition, and there are several major updates including the addition of simulation programmes to allow students to view processes for themselves.
