Customer Reviews

Excellent book describing computer architecture.

This book is an excellent resource on how computers work, and the theory behind their operation. The book describes, in detail, number representation, floating point operations, bitwise operations, binary mathematical operations, memory layout, cpu operations, registers, and more. This book's primary focus is not assembly language. Assembly language (via an abstraction called SASM) is merely used in the book to illustrate computer architechture. Those looking for an assembly language refrence should look elsewhere; Those looking for a computer architecture book should purchase this title.
