Computer Architecture And Organization by Ian East

Computer Architecture And Organization by Ian East

This textbook covers topics which cross the border between hardware and software and should be of value to both students of computer science and electronic engineering. It shows how one may proceed "top-down" through software engineering to arrive at the fundamental programming constructs that one wishes to run as process. Finally one arrives at the fundamental atoms of programming which must be available to make a universally programmable machine. Explanation is given of what the components of a computer are, how they are connected together and how they in turn are constructed. No particular technology is assumed. A full understanding of any machine architecture is not possible without programming it at the assembler level. It is shown with many examples, how instructions may be grouped to form process/constructs and how data objects may be defined.

East, Ian: - Ian East began his career as an Engineering Physicist in the defence industry before returning to university to gain a Ph.D. in physics from Imperial College, London, in 1983. He then continued as a University Lecturer in physics, and later computing, in diverse institutions over the next twenty-five years, publishing two textbooks and around thirty papers. He has also served as a consultant and contractor to commercial and military institutions. Ian now spends his time writing, publishing and implementing his own programming language, Honeysuckle, when not flying gliders or home-built radio-controlled planes. He lives with his wife, two sons and a large sleepy Labrador near Oxford.
