Synopsis
In the first edition the author laid out the idea that a computer can be thought of as a hierarchy of levels. The computers he was referring to were minicomputers like the Dec PDP 11 series. This edition adds another chapter for microcomputers. He notes that previously the user did not have to think about the hardware. But he predicts that users will even have more than one PC in their own home! He thinks they should know something about how a computer really works. This has proved not to be the case. As Ratbert said, "The less you know, the better off you are." This book is for those who want to know.

From the Back Cover
This book takes a modern structured, layered approach to understanding computer systems. It's highly accessible - and it's been thoroughly updated to reflect today's most critical new technologies, including Pentium II and UltraSPARC microprocessors, Windows NT and Java Virtual Machines.Tanenbaum and Goodman present a computer as a series of layers, each one built upon the ones below it, and understandable as a separate entity. The book includes detailed coverage at the digital logic and micro-architecture levels, instruction set level, and operating system machine level, and contains a completely rewritten and updated chapter on parallel computer architecture. This new edition includes a wealth of new material about modern I/O devices, a detailed discussion of the Java Virtual Machine (including a microprogrammed implementation of a subset of a JVM), extensive coverage of multiprocessing, and much more.For all computer professionals and engineers who need an overview or introduction to computer architecture.
