This book lays out the concepts necessary to understand how a
computer works.For reasons of clarity, the authors have
deliberately chosen examples that apply to machines from all eras,
without having to water down the contents of the book. This choice
helps to show how techniques, concepts and performances have
evolved since the first computers.The book is divided into five
parts. The first four, which are of increasing difficulty, are the
core of the book: "Elements of a Basic Architecture," "Programming
Model and Operation," "Memory Hierarchy," "Parallelism and
Performance Enhancement." The final part provides hints and
solutions to the exercises in the book as well as appendices. The
reader may approach each part independently based on their prior
knowledge and goals.
