Computer Systems Architecture provides IT professionals and
students with the necessary understanding of computer hardware. It
addresses the ongoing issues related to computer hardware and
discusses the solutions supplied by the industry. The book
describes trends in computing solutions that led to the current
available infrastructures, tracing the initial need for computers
to recent concepts such as the Internet of Things. It covers
computers' data representation, explains how computer architecture
and its underlying meaning changed over the years, and examines the
implementations and performance enhancements of the central
processing unit (CPU). It then discusses the organization,
hierarchy, and performance considerations of computer memory as
applied by the operating system and illustrates how cache memory
significantly improves performance. The author proceeds to explore
the bus system, algorithms for ensuring data integrity, input and
output (I/O) components, methods for performing I/O, various
aspects relevant to software engineering, and nonvolatile storage
devices, such as hard drives and technologies for enhancing
performance and reliability. He also describes virtualization and
cloud computing and the emergence of software-based systems'
architectures. Accessible to software engineers and developers as
well as students in IT disciplines, this book enhances readers'
understanding of the hardware infrastructure used in software
engineering projects. It enables readers to better optimize system
usage by focusing on the principles used in hardware systems design
and the methods for enhancing performance.
