Principles of Computer Hardware

Written in a highly accessible style, this introduction covers the entire range of hardware-related topics. Exhaustive in scope, it covers material usually found only by consulting several volumes, and includes advanced or new topics (such as local area networks) not found in conventional introductory texts. Where appropriate, hardware is related to software considerations, and day-to-day engineering practice is emphasized. Numerous worked examples provide students with hands-on experience. Undergraduate computer science and electronics students will benefit from Clement's informal yet challenging approach.

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.
