Introduction to Computer Architecture Lecture Notes
These lecture notes, written by David A. Wood and T. A. Ramkumar Ravikumar, summarize the basics necessary to understand computer architecture. This course material gives an exhaustive introduction to designing a singleprocessor computer by covering processor datapath, control units, and memory systems. It covers all aspects of performance metrics, instruction execution, arithmetic operations, and control mechanisms. Further, it covers pipelining, caching, and virtual memory management. They also discuss the multiprocessor systems and consideration in their design. The comprehensive guide is targeted at students and professionals who want to understand a broad view of computer architecture and practical applications.
