Architecture of computer systems. How to build a modern computer according to all the rules
29.99 €
The best way to understand how computers work is to build one from scratch!
This is what the authors of this book believe and therefore offer a practical approach to the study of computer systems. Inside you will find not only an exhaustive theoretical description of how a modern computer works, but also an algorithm of the specific steps required to build one. Thanks to the book you will learn to understand the following topics: - Hardware; - Computer architecture; - Low- and high-level languages; - Virtual machines; - Compilers; - Programming; - Operating systems; - Data structures and algorithms; - Software engineering. The unique feature of the book is that all these topics are closely related and clearly focused on the main goal: building a modern computer system from scratch. The textbook is completely self-sufficient: all the necessary knowledge to build the hardware and software systems described in it is inside. Part I "Hardware" requires no prior knowledge, making projects 1-6 accessible to any student and self-taught. Part II "Software" and projects 7-12 require prior knowledge of programming (in any high-level language). Unlike other textbooks that cover only one aspect of a topic, "Computer Systems Architecture" provides the holistic and comprehensive knowledge of applied computer science needed to create your own projects.
