I recommend this book to those who are interested in learning the basics of computer organization, particularly at the hardware and device level. This book does not deal with the concepts related to computer organization from an abstract, mathematical level. It also does not attempt to describe the computer organization using a high-level language. Instead, the authors concentrate on uniprocessing systems, with a large number of examples drawn from VAX-11, IBM 370, and HP 3000. The book does not cover multiprocessors. The organization of the book is summarized here. Chapter 1 introduces a number of terms. Chapters 2 and 3 concentrate in detail (a total of 101 pages) on the addressing methods and instruction sets, with examples taken primarily from the above mentioned machines. Chapters 4 and 5 (a total of 50 pages) deal with the control unit for the instruction fetch and execute, with Chapter 5 being devoted to microprogrammed control and bit slice designs. In Chapter 6 (a total of 64 pages) the authors cover Input/Output organization, which includes a good deal about the synchronous/asynchronous I/O operations, I/O interfaces, etc. Chapter 7 presents the usual material on the fixed- and floating-point arithmetic. Chapter 8 covers main memory, including RAM, ROM, and Interleaving various cacheing techniques. In addition to the above, there are three chapters (a total of 138 pages) devoted especially to microprocessors, computer peripherals and workstations, and computer communications. I liked the book for its content and the lucid presentation. But I personally will not deprive my students of a reasonable introduction to multiprocessor organization, an appreciation of high-level description languages, and some insight into the scope of abstraction in the computer design.
