Written as a text for upper-level undergraduates, this book discusses computer architectural topics from the software perspective, from beginner to advanced levels. Although the design principles of computer architecture are well established, they are presented here in the context of new architectures. In particular, the author bases his presentation on the Pentium processor, allowing readers to acquire practical experience on a PC. Each chapter contains summary points, problems, and software exercises. The concepts covered in this text provide readers with a solid foundation for further studies on the design of computer hardware, software, and networks.
