商品描述

Computer Systems Architecture provides IT professionals and students with the necessary understanding of computer hardware. It addresses the ongoing issues related to computer hardware and discusses the solutions supplied by the industry.

 

The book describes trends in computing solutions that led to the current available infrastructures, tracing the initial need for computers to recent concepts such as the Internet of Things. It covers computers’ data representation, explains how computer architecture and its underlying meaning changed over the years, and examines the implementations and performance enhancements of the central processing unit (CPU). It then discusses the organization, hierarchy, and performance considerations of computer memory as applied by the operating system and illustrates how cache memory significantly improves performance.

 

The author proceeds to explore the bus system, algorithms for ensuring data integrity, input and output (I/O) components, methods for performing I/O, various aspects relevant to software engineering, and nonvolatile storage devices, such as hard drives and technologies for enhancing performance and reliability. He also describes virtualization and cloud computing and the emergence of software-based systems’ architectures.

 

Accessible to software engineers and developers as well as students in IT disciplines, this book enhances readers’ understanding of the hardware infrastructure used in software engineering projects. It enables readers to better optimize system usage by focusing on the principles used in hardware systems design and the methods for enhancing performance.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《計算機系統架構》提供了IT專業人士和學生對計算機硬件的必要理解。它討論了與計算機硬件相關的持續問題,並探討了行業提供的解決方案。

本書描述了導致當前可用基礎設施的計算解決方案的趨勢,從最初對計算機的需求追溯到最近的概念,如物聯網。它涵蓋了計算機的數據表示,解釋了計算機架構及其基本含義隨著時間的變化,並探討了中央處理單元(CPU)的實現和性能增強。然後,它討論了操作系統應用的計算機內存的組織、層次和性能考慮,並說明了緩存內存如何顯著提高性能。

作者繼續探討匯流排系統、確保數據完整性的算法、輸入和輸出(I/O)組件、執行I/O的方法、與軟件工程相關的各個方面,以及硬盤等非易失性存儲設備和提高性能和可靠性的技術。他還描述了虛擬化和雲計算以及軟件為基礎系統架構的出現。

這本書對軟件工程師和開發人員以及IT學科的學生都是易於理解的,它增強了讀者對軟件工程項目中使用的硬件基礎設施的理解。它使讀者能夠通過專注於硬件系統設計中使用的原則和提高性能的方法來更好地優化系統使用。
