This is a book about computer organization and architecture. It focuses on the function and design of the various components necessary to process information digitally. Computing systems are presented as a series of layers, starting with low-level hardware and progressing to higher-level software, including assemblers and operating systems. These levels constitute a hierarchy of virtual machines. The study of computer organization focuses on this hierarchy and the issues involved with how to partition the levels and how each level is implemented. The study of computer architecture focuses on the interface between hardware and software, and emphasizes the structure and behavior of the system. The majority of information contained in this textbook is devoted to computer hardware, computer organization and architecture, and their relationship to software performance. There is a fundamental relationship between the computer hardware and the many aspects of programming and software components in computer systems. In order to write good software, it is very important to understand the computer system as a whole. Understanding hardware can help you explain the mysterious errors that sometimes creep into your programs, such as the infamous segmentation fault or bus error.
