Viac o knihe

Focusing on RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) design, this comprehensive guide introduces five key processors: MIPS, SPARC, PowerPC, ARM, and Intel's 64-bit Itanium. It begins by clarifying the distinctions between CISC and RISC architectures, followed by an in-depth exploration of core RISC principles. Later chapters delve into MIPS assembly language programming, enabling readers to apply the concepts learned. This resource is invaluable for professionals, programmers, and students studying computer architecture and programming.
