Designed for programmers already experienced with operating systems like Windows XP, this book introduces key Linux concepts. It covers fundamental differences, system architecture, and essential tools, facilitating a smooth transition to the Linux environment. Through practical examples and comparisons, readers will gain a solid understanding of Linux's unique features and functionalities, empowering them to leverage this powerful operating system in their programming endeavors.

A new advanced textbook/reference providing a comprehensive survey of hardware and software architectural principles and methods of computer systems organization and design. The book is suitable for a first course in computer organization. The style is similar to that of the author's book on assembly language in that it strongly supports self-study by students. This organization facilitates compressed presentation of material. Emphasis is also placed on related concepts to practical designs/chips. material presentation suitable for self- study; concepts related to practical designs and implementations; extensive examples and figures; details provided on several digital logic simulation packages; free MASM download instructions provided; and end-of-chapter exercises.

This textbook introduces the reader to assembly language programming and its role in computer programming and design. The author concentrates on covering the 8086 family of processors up to and including the Pentium. The focus is on providing students with a firm grasp of the main features of assembly programming, and how it can be used to improve a computer's performance. All of the main features are covered in stacks, addressing modes, arithmetic, selection and iteration, and bit manipulation; and amongst the advanced topics covered string processing, macros, interrupts and input/output handling, and interfacing with higher-level languages such as C. A particular strength is the discussion of the improvements in performance that can be achieved using assembly programming where appropriate. The book is based on several years of a successful course offered by the author and includes numerous hands-on exercises for students to undertake.

Focusing on RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) design, this comprehensive guide introduces five key processors: MIPS, SPARC, PowerPC, ARM, and Intel's 64-bit Itanium. It begins by clarifying the distinctions between CISC and RISC architectures, followed by an in-depth exploration of core RISC principles. Later chapters delve into MIPS assembly language programming, enabling readers to apply the concepts learned. This resource is invaluable for professionals, programmers, and students studying computer architecture and programming.

Details RISC design principles as well as explains the differences between this and other designs.Helps readers acquire hands-on assembly language programming experience
