Principles of Computer Organization and Assembly Language (美國原版)

As the support platform for Java, the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is an important part of the computing infrastructure. In covering the organization and architecture of a real computer, this is the only book available that at once is easy to understand and follows modern design principles. Teaches one of the only assembly languages still in reasonably widespread use – and presents a good background on many other machines once the basic JVM has been mastered. Takes a non-technical approach that makes material more accessible to non-specialists in humanities computing or information science. Covers a wide variety of real architectures, exposing readers to realistic examples of RISC vs. CISC, Harvard architectures, embedded systems, and more. A useful reference for Java developers.

作為Java的支援平台，Java虛擬機（JVM）是計算基礎設施的重要組成部分。在涵蓋一台「真實」計算機的組織和架構方面，這是唯一一本既易於理解又遵循現代設計原則的書籍。教授一種仍然相對廣泛使用的組合語言，並在掌握基本的JVM後，提供了對其他許多機器的良好背景。採用非技術性的方法，使材料更容易被人文計算或信息科學非專業人士理解。涵蓋了各種真實的架構，讓讀者接觸到RISC與CISC的實際例子、哈佛架構、嵌入式系統等等。對Java開發人員來說是一本有用的參考書。
