Features: This book starts with an overview of computer system structure design, explaining the relationship between machines and machine language. It introduces the representative and easily understandable SRC model and RTN structural functional description language, and discusses related logical design issues. Next, the author uses examples to illustrate the differences between CISC and RISC, deeply analyzes the interface relationship between instruction sets and hardware, and introduces the design of CPU pipelining, multi-instruction issue computers, microcode control units, and arithmetic logic units. This book introduces the design of computer system structure from the perspectives of system structure designers, assembly programmers, and logic designers.

Later, the author provides a detailed introduction to the hierarchical structure design of memory and discusses the machine input/output system and peripheral devices. Finally, the author discusses some topics related to computer interconnection. Additionally, this book provides a dedicated appendix on digital logic, written in an accessible manner, which is believed to be very helpful for readers. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in computer science, electronics, and related fields, as well as microcomputer principles, system structure, and computer design courses. It is also very beneficial for professionals and R&D personnel in related fields.
