Jones & Bartlett/Viva Books Private Limited, 2015. 4th edition. Softcover. New. Description: “The Essentials of Computer Organization and Architecture is an outstanding text that builds from the lowest level of logic gates through the circuits of the CPU up to the complexity of modern machines. I’ve used this text since 2008 (Second Edition). Each new edition has brought additional clarity to the material. One of my students said, at the end of the term, I feel like I could build a computer from scratch!” The exercises are well-designed so that I can assign problems that test the topics we’ve focused on. It is a vast, rich collection of information.” -Jacqueline A. Jones Associate Professor, Dept. of Computer and Information Science Brooklyn College of the City University of New York Updated and revised to reflect the most current data in the field, perennial bestseller The Essentials of Computer Organization and Architecture, Fourth Editionis comprehensive enough to address all necessary organization and architecture topics, but concise enough to be appropriate for a single-term course. Its focus on real-world examples and practical applications encourages students to develop a “big picture” understanding of how essential organization and architecture concepts are applied in the computing world. In addition to direct correlation with the ACM/IEEE CS2013 guidelines for computer organization and architecture, the text exposes readers to the inner workings of a modern digital computer through an integrated presentation of fundamental concepts and principles. Key features of the fully revised and updated Fourth Edition include: • A direct correlation with the ACM/IEEE CS2013 guidelines for computer organization and architecture, in addition to integrating material from additional knowledge units • All-new material on a variety of topics, including zetabytes and yottabytes, automatons, tablet computers, graphic processing units, and cloud computing • MARIE Simulator package allows students to learn the essential concepts of computer organization and architecture, including assembly language, without getting caught up in unnecessary and confusing details Contents: Preface Chapter 1: Introduction • Overview • The Main Components of a Computer • An Example System: Wading Through the Jargon • Standards Organizations • Historical Development • Generation Zero: Mechanical Calculating Machines (1642–1945) • The First Generation: Vacuum Tube Computers (1945–1953) • The Second Generation: Transistorized Computers (1954–1965) • The Third Generation: Integrated Circuit Computers (1965–1980) • The Fourth Generation: VLSI Computers (1980–????) • Moore’s Law • The Computer Level Hierarchy • Cloud Computing: Computing as a Service • The Von Neumann Model • Non–Von Neumann Models • Parallel Processors and Parallel Computing • Parallelism: Enabler of Machine Intelligence—Deep Blue and Watson • Chapter Summary • Further Reading • References • Review of Essential Terms and Concepts • Exercises Chapter 2: Data Representation in Computer Systems • Introduction • Positional Numbering Systems • Converting Between Bases • Converting Unsigned Whole Numbers • Converting Fractions • Converting Between Power-of-Two Radices • Signed Integer Representation • Signed Magnitude • Complement Systems • Excess-M Representation for Signed Numbers • Unsigned Versus Signed Numbers • Computers, Arithmetic, and Booth’s Algorithm • Carry Versus Overflow • Binary Multiplication and Division Using Shifting • Floating-Point Representation • A Simple Model • Floating-Point Arithmetic • Floating-Point Errors • The IEEE-754 Floating-Point Standard • Range, Precision, and Accuracy • Additional Problems with Floating-Point Numbers • Character Codes • Binary-Coded Decimal • EBCDIC • ASCII • Unicode • Error Detection and Correction • Cyclic Redundancy Check • Hamming Codes • Reed-Solomon • Chapter Summary • Further Reading • R Printed Pages: 916., Jones & Bartlett/Viva Books Private Limited, 2015, 6, Jones & Bartlett/Viva Books Private Limited, 2015. 4th edition.

NA, Jones & Bartlett/Viva Books Private Limited, 2015, 6, Neumann Press. Very Good with no dust jacket; Very nice and clean.. 1951, 1996. Hardcover. 0-911845-33-X . 8vo; 301 pages; This book has 300 compact pages explaining what happened almost 400 years ago in England when barrels of gunpowder were found under the House of Lords. A plot was undoubtedly discovered, but what kind of plot. Was it a conspiracy of Catholics against the Government or the Government against Catholics? This is a fascinating story of intrigue and suspense-involving heroic actions, cowardly politics and unwavering faith. But even more fascinating is the fact that it is a true story. Hugh Ross Williamson writes a clear and exact account of one of the most controversial episodes of the English Reformation, but in a style interesting even to the casual reader. The author"s careful attention in gathering the details of this historic event makes the reader feel he has been transported back in time. The book will attract your undivided attention right down to the very last page, ., Neumann Press, 1951, 1996, 3<
