This is a book about computer hardware Maintenance & assembling with Networking/ computer organization and architecture. It focuses on the function and design of the various components necessary to process information digitally. We present computing systems as a series of layers, starting with low-level hardware and progressing to higher-level software, including assemblers and operating systems. These levels constitute a hierarchy of virtual machines. The study of computer organization focuses on this hierarchy and the issues involved with how we partition the levels and how each level is implemented. The study of computer architecture focuses on the interface between hardware and software, and emphasizes the structure and behavior of the system. The majority of information contained in this textbook is devoted to computer hardware, computer organization, Networking and architecture, and their relationship to software performance. Students invariably ask, “Why, if I am a computer science major, must I learn about computer hardware? Isn’t that for computer engineers? Why do I care what the inside of a computer looks like?” As computer users, we probably do not have to worry about this any more than we need to know what our cars look like under the hood in order to drive them. As computer scientists, we need a basic understanding of the computer system itself in order to rectify these problems. There is a fundamental relationship between the computer hardware and the many aspects of programming and software components in computer systems This book not only integrates the underlying principles in these areas, but it also introduces and motivates the topics, providing the breadth necessary for majors, while providing the depth necessary for continuing studies in computer science. Our primary objective in writing this book is to change the way computer organization and architecture are typically taught. A computer science major should leave a computer organization and architecture class with not only an understanding of the important general concepts on which the digital computer is founded, but also with a comprehension of how those concepts apply to the real world. These concepts should transcend vendor-specific terminology and design; in fact, students should be able to take concepts given in the specific and translate to the generic and vice versa. In addition, students must develop a firm foundation for further study in the major. The title of our book, The Essentials of Computer Organization and Architecture, is intended to convey that the topics presented in the text are those for which every computer science major should have exposure, familiarity, or mastery. We do not expect students using our textbook to have complete mastery of all topics presented. It is our firm belief, however, that there are certain topics that must be mastered; there are those topics for which students must have a definite familiarity; and there are certain topics for which a brief introduction and exposure are adequate. We have written this textbook in an informal style, omitting unnecessary jargon, writing clearly and concisely, and avoiding unnecessary abstraction, in hopes of increasing student enthusiasm. We have also broadened the range of topics typically found in a first-level architecture book to include system software, a brief tour of operating systems, performance issues, alternative architectures, and a concise introduction to networking, as these topics are intimately related to computer hardware. Like most books, we have chosen an architectural model, but it is one that we have designed with simplicity in mind.
I am thankful to my Mother Smt. Dakh Shri and younger brothers Rajesh Babu, & Mulayam Singh for his sustained efforts to bring out this volume successfully.
This has been an uphill task; however suggestions for improvement are welcome form experts, teachers and students.
