Publisher's Synopsis
This is the instructor's manual to "Computer Architecture: A Designer's Text, Based on a Generic RISC", a text which begins with a short history of digital computation. The main text is distinguished by its orientation towards RISC rather than CISC architecture, and addresses the topic of input/output and limits to speed. Bringing entire computing systems (both hardware and software) together, this text makes clear the consequences of hardware decisions on software and vice versa.
