Architecture of computer systems. How to assemble a modern computer according to all the rules

The best way to understand how computers work is to build one of them from scratch!
So the authors of this book think and therefore offer a practical approach to the study of computer systems. Inside you will find not only an exhaustive theoretical description of the work of a modern computer, but also an algorithm for the specific steps necessary for its design.
Thanks to the book, you will learn to understand the following topics:
• hardware
• Computer architecture
• Language of low and high levels
• Virtual machines
• compilers
• Programming
• Operating systems
• Data structures and algorithms
• Program engineering
The unique feature of the book is that all these topics are closely related and clearly focused on the main goal: the creation of 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 does not require preliminary knowledge, which makes projects 1-6 available to any student and self -taught.
Part II “Software” and projects 7-12 require preliminary study of programming (in any high -level language).
In contrast to other textbooks that cover only one aspect of the topic, “The Architecture of Computer Systems” gives a holistic and exhaustive knowledge of applied computer science, necessary to create your own projects.
“We wrote this book, because we got the impression that many of those who study computer science do not see forests behind the trees. A typical student runs through a series of programming courses, theory and engineering, not stopping to evaluate the beauty of the overall picture. And the picture as a whole is such that hardware, software and applied systems are closely related to each other, which is not obvious, through the hidden web of abstractions, interfaces and contract implementations. ” - Noam Nisan, Shimon Shocen
