About this title

Synopsis

Explores principles and design tradeoffs in all of the principal components of a modern computer. Two interconnected threads running through the book are the design processing units and the design of input-output structures from cache to disk. Hardware receiving detailed design includes the CPU, MMU, D-cache, FPU, and backplane bus. Interactions of hardware with the operating system are discussed, including the file system, processor and context switches, memory management, and virtual memory support. Each chapter contains a summary, problems, and references. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
