This book explains every part of your computer and shows how each part works together, it teaches simple troubleshooting and repair techniques and is packed with real-world examples and case studies. Learn about: I/O: how information gets into and out of computers ; Motherboards and buses: how your computer’s parts are connected ; CPU: how your computer’s “brain” works—and how to install and troubleshoot it ; Memory and storage: the types you need and how to install them ; Bootup: how your computer starts, what can go wrong, and how to fix it ; Operating systems: the basics of Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux ; Basic security: protecting your data, connections, and computer ; Troubleshooting: the tools and methods every good PC technician must know ; Networks and the Internet: how they work, how they communicate, and how to connect to them.
The book starts by reviewing the history of computing and explaining what nearly all modern computers have in common, whether they are immensely powerful supercomputers, personal computers, or even smartphones.
This book provides you with a series of hands-on exercises and critical-thinking activities that teach you the skills needed to build modern networks.
A first course in computer architecture and the interaction of hardware and software. This book is aimed at students with some experience of programming in a high-level language. It covers...
This is a sound fundamental book on computer organization and architecture, hardware and logic design. 68030-68040-, 386-486-, cache and virtual memory, many other modern topics and latest advances in technology are covered.
The book goes on to discuss information representation in computing, Boolean algebra and logic gates, and sequential logic. The book also presents introduction to computer architecture, Cache mapping methods, and virtual memory.
An introductory text to computer architecture, this comprehensive volume covers the concepts from logic gates to advanced computer architecture.
Featuring examples of the two most widely-used HDLs, VHDL and Verilog, the first half of the text prepares the reader for what follows in the second: the design of a MIPS Processor.
This handbook volume covers fundamental topics of semantics in logic and computation. The chapters (some monographic in length), were written following years of co-ordination and follow a thematic point of view.
Computer Systems Organization -- general.
The fundamentals of digital logic design as well as the use of the Verilog hardware description language are discussed. The book covers computer organization and architecture, modern design concepts, and computer security through hardware.
