Computer Architecture

The book by Andrew Tanenbaum, a world-renowned expert in the field of information technology, writer, and instructor, now in its sixth edition, is dedicated to the structural organization of computers. It is based on the idea of a hierarchical structure, where each level performs a specific function. Within this unconventional approach, the digital logic level, instruction architecture level, operating system level, and assembly language level are described in detail. The sixth edition includes numerous changes that align the book with the rapid development of the computer industry. In particular, the information about machines presented as examples has been updated: Intel Core i7, Texas Instrument OMAP4430, and Atmel ATmega168. The book is aimed at a wide range of readers: both students studying computer technology and those who are independently familiarizing themselves with computer architecture.
