Features: This book is guided by the methodology of computer cognitive science, comprehensively and selectively introducing the main topics of computer architecture, with special emphasis on readability, scientific rigor, systematic organization, and practicality. It includes a large number of specially designed diagrams and carefully selected examples, along with recent entrance examination questions from key universities for master's degree candidates, to facilitate the use of the book by a broad readership. This book can serve as a textbook for courses titled "Computer Principles and System Architecture" or similar, and can also be referenced by computer professionals. The book is divided into 10 chapters. Chapters 1 to 6 primarily cover the fundamental principles of computer organization, including the basic components of a computer, number systems and code systems, instruction sets, memory systems, and the central processing unit and input/output systems that constitute the entire computer system. Chapters 7 to 9 discuss the basic knowledge of computer system architecture, including scalar computers, vector computers, parallel computers, and multiprocessors. Chapter 10 covers experimental instruments and five basic experimental requirements. The book is rich in content, highlights key points, presents complex topics in an accessible manner, and is easy to understand. Each chapter is followed by exercises. This book can serve as a textbook for students in science and engineering disciplines studying "Computer Organization Principles and Architecture" or "Computer Organization and Structure," and can also be referenced by computer professionals.
