Computation Structures integrates thorough coverage of digital logic design with a comprehensive presentation of computer architecture. It contains a wealth of information for anyone who designs computers or works with computer systems. Indeed, the authors' goal is to teach people to look at systems, as a whole, without being bound by the artificial interfaces that are often used to train specialist engineers. Ward and Halstead demystify the construction of computing hardware by illustrating how it is built up from digital circuits through higher-level components to processors and memories and emphasizing how the design of hardware is affected by its intended use. The book is firmly based in the real world, with pertinent discussions of the many trade-off decisions practicing engineers must confront. Throughout the book, the authors use the running example of the MAYBE computer--a simple microarchitecture that readers can construct and operate--to establish connections between theory and real-world practice. Among the topics addressed are the digital abstracts; combinatorial devices and circuits; the synthesis of digital systems; finite-state machines; control structures and disciplines; performance measures and trade-offs; communication; interpretation; microinterpreter architectures; microprogramming; single-sequence machines; stack, register, and memory architectures; RISC machines; processes; interrupts and priorities; and architectural horizons.

Computation Structures (Hardback) (ISBN: 9780262231398) Ward, Stephen A.;Halstead, Robert H. Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: MIT Press Ltd, United States, 1990. Hardback. Book Condition: New. 257 x 211 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Developed as the text for the basic computer architecture course at MIT, Computation Structures integrates a thorough coverage of digital logic design with a comprehensive presentation of computer architecture. It contains a wealth of information for those who design computers or work with computer systems, spanning the entire range of topics from analog circuit design to operating systems. Ward and Halstead seek to demystify the construction of computing hardware by illustrating systematically how it is built up from digital circuits through higher level components to processors and memories, and how its design is affected by its intended uses.Computation Structures is unusually broad in scope, considering many real world problems and tradeoff decisions faced by practicing engineers. These difficult choices are confronted and given careful attention throughout the book.Topics addressed include the digital abstraction; digital representations and notation; combinational devices and circuits; sequence and state; synthesis of digital systems; finite state machines; control structures and disciplines; performance measures and tradeoffs; communication; interpretation; microinterpreter architecture; microprogramming and microcode; single sequence machines; stack architectures; register architectures; reduced instruction set computers; memory architectures; processes and processor multiplexing; process synchronization; interrupts, priorities, and real time; directions and trends.Stephen A. Ward and Robert H. Halstead are both Associate Professors of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at MIT. Computation Structures is included in the MIT Electrical Engineering and Computer Science series.
