This book, then, cover the central aspects of computer organization and architecture: digital logic and systems, data representation, and machine organization architecture. It also describes the assembly-level language of one particular architecture, the JVM, with other common architectures such as the Intel Pentium 4 and Pover PC given as supporting examples but not as the object of focus. The book is designed specifucally for a standard second-year course on the architecture and organization of computer, as recommended by the IEEE Computer Society and the Association for Computing Machinery.
