Annotation "Hardware and Computer Organization is a practical introduction to the architecture of modern microprocessors for students and professionals alike. It is designed to take readers "under the hood" of modern embedded computer systems and PCs, and provide them with an understanding of these complex machines that has become such a pervasive part of everyday life." "Unlike other texts on this topic, Dr. Berger's book takes the software developer's point-of-view. Instead of simply demonstrating how to design a computer's hardware, it provides an understanding of the total machine, highlighting strengths and weaknesses, explaining how to deal with memory and how to write efficient assembly code that interacts directly with and takes best advantage of the underlying machine."--BOOK JACKET.
