Computer Organization, Design, and Architecture

2025 | Sajjan G. Shiva
"Computer Organization, Design, and Architecture" by Sajjan G. Shiva is a comprehensive textbook that provides an in-depth exploration of computer systems, focusing on their organization, design, and architecture. The book is praised for its detailed coverage of fundamental concepts and its ability to cater to both beginners and advanced computer scientists. It includes a wide range of topics related to computer architecture and organization, making it a valuable resource for students and professionals in the field. The book introduces a hypothetical simple computer, the ASC, and guides readers through its design and programming. It then expands on the architectural features of existing computer systems, integrating four categories of digital systems architecture: logic design, computer organization, computer hardware, and computer system architecture. The sixth edition includes updates on contemporary technologies such as Graphics Processing Units (GPU), quantum computing, and the latest supercomputer systems, as well as descriptions of the ARM and RISC-V Instruction Set Architectures. This textbook is suitable for one- or two-semester undergraduate or beginning graduate courses in computer science and computer engineering. It aligns with the recent IEEE/ACM curriculum for "computer architecture and organization." The book covers topics such as number systems, combinational and sequential logic, memory systems, input/output, processor and instruction-set architectures, and advanced architectures like dataflow, systolic, and quantum computing. It also includes discussions on embedded systems, mobile processors, computer networks, and distributed processing. The book is structured into 16 chapters, each covering specific aspects of computer organization and architecture. It includes a detailed introduction to the von Neumann model, the evolution of computer technology through five generations, and the impact of Moore's Law on hardware development. The text also explores the principles of computer systems, including hardware components, software, and system structures, as well as the role of operating systems and firmware. The book is accompanied by a solutions manual, figures, and tables available for instructors. It is designed to be accessible to readers without prior knowledge of computer programming, though exposure to high-level and assembly languages can aid understanding. The text is supported by a variety of examples, case studies, and practical applications, making it an essential resource for students and professionals in the field of computer science and engineering."Computer Organization, Design, and Architecture" by Sajjan G.
