Abstract :
This book is intended to serve as an intermediate text for students who have already completed a basic course in computer design. Furthermore, it is aimed at engineers and potential computer systems designers rather than at programmers or business data-processing specialists. It is the author´s hope that the book could be used as a text for a second semester course in computers, as well as being of interest to the practicing computer engineer. Unfortunately, I am somewhat disappointed in the book for a number of reasons.
