Computer System Architecture by Morris Mano 3rd Edition

                                
Focused primarily on hardware design and organization -- and the impact of software on the architecture -- this volume first covers the basic organization, design, and programming of a simple digital computer, then explores the separate functional units in detail.

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 includes: KEY FEATURES: 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.

Computer Organization and Architecture 6th Ed by William Stallings

   
                                          
For junior/senior/graduate-level courses in Computer Organization in departments of Computer Science and Computer Engineering.

This book provides a clear, comprehensive presentation of the developments in the organization and architecture of modern-day computers, emphasizing both fundamental principles and the critical role of performance in driving computer design. A basic reference and companion for self-study, it conveys concepts through a wealth of concrete examples highlighting modern CISC and RISC systems. A five-part organization covers: an overview, the computer system, the central processing unit, the control unit, and parallel organization. For computer engineers and architects, product marketing personnel in computer or communications companies, and for information systems and computer systems personnel.

Embedded System Design: A Unified Hardware/Software Introduction by Frank Vahid

                                     
A MODERN APPROACH TO THE DESIGN OF EMBEDDED COMPUTING SYSTEMS

In today's world, embedded systems are everywhere�homes, offices, cars, factories, hospitals, planes, and consumer electronics. Their huge numbers and new complexity calls for a new design approach, one that emphasizes high-level tools and hardware/software tradeoffs, rather than low-level assembly-language programming and logic design.

This exciting new book presents the traditionally distinct fields of software and hardware design in a new unified approach. It covers trends and challenges, introduces the design and use of single-purpose processors ("hardware") and general-purpose processors ("software"), describes memories and buses, illustrates hardware/software tradeoffs using a digital camera example, and discusses advanced computation models, controls systems, chip technologies, and modern design tools.

Whether a student or working professional, readers of this outstanding new book will learn how to look at embedded systems in a whole new way, one that allows them to build modern embedded systems having both hardware and software.

"Software and hardware cannot be considered independently today. They are interwoven on all levels of design flow from requirements to product specification, to manufacturing. EMBEDDED SYSTEM DESIGN is an excellent text that offers a unified approach to software and hardware concepts and design techniques. A necessary text for the second course in software engineering, computer organization, or system design".
