Review text

This textbook covers fundamentals of architecture, organisation and operating systems of contemporary monoprocessor micro- and minicomputers. It is addressed to students of an introductory course in computer science. The book is written in a clear, almost popular style. Individual chapters are supplemented by interesting excerptions from novels and science fiction books. The first part of the book deals with digital circuits. The second part discusses the architecture and organisation of computers, in particular arithmetic, CPU, control unit, instruction list, input/output and memory organisation and management. The last part is devoted to operating systems' principles with UNIX taken as a specific example of current systems implemented on many 32-bit computers.
