Computer System Architecture
Dealing with computer architecture as well as computer organization and design, this fully updated book provides the basic knowledge necessary to understand the hardware operation of digital computers. Written to aid electrical engineers, computer engineers, and computer scientists, the volume KEY the computer architecture, organization, and design associated with computer hardware • the various digital components used in the organization and design of digital computers • detailed steps that a designer must go through in order to design an elementary basic computer • the organization and architecture of the central processing unit • the organization and architecture of input-output and memory • the concept of multiprocessing • two new chapters on pipeline and vector processing • two sections devoted completely to the reduced instruction set computer (RISC) • and sample worked-out problems to clarify topics.

To be true this book basically sucks.
I've tried to study from this book and for sure it's not working for me.
Recently I've tried another book, Computer Organization & Architecture by William Stallings, and I found reading it worth a while.
So,This book is not the one I'll recommend to anyone.
And if anyone have a better recommendation, then do let me know :)

I have mixed feelings about this book. If you read it all at once it's ok. But if you read a chapter and then come back a month later to study the next chapter for course, you will have to reread all earlier chapters know what is being talked about.
The questions at the end of the chapter are pretty much impossible to figure out without the answer guide.

Very good book, it starts from scratch logic circuits to processor design, a must in every computer or electronics student library. very useful.

I think this book is not the suitable one for undergrad/grad students anymore. but it's not that bad to read as one of the classics.

Smooth flow of content. There are some inconsistencies among the chapters. Probably not relevant these days but overall a great book

February 4, 2017An excellent approach to study computer, starting from logic circuits and data representation up to computer building and programming.
This down-top strategy is very useful for teaching this subject to electrical engineering students.
