Joseph D. Dumas II

Computer Architecture (eBook, PDF)

Fundamentals and Principles of Computer Design, Second Edition

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book explains, in easily understandable language, the key architectural principles and implementation techniques used to design and build modern computer systems - from embedded controllers to supercomputers, and everything in between. It will give undergraduate and master's level students studying computer science, computer engineering, and/or electrical engineering both a thorough understanding of how computers work and what characteristics to look for when buying a computer system for personal or organizational needs. It does this by incorporating information about actual computer systems, while providing simplified pedagogical examples where the details of real chips would be overwhelming to students.

Autorenporträt

Joe Dumas earned his Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from the University of Central Florida in 1993, where he also received the first Link Foundation Fellowship in Advanced Simulation and Training. Previously, he earned the M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Mississippi State University in 1989 and the B.S. degree in Electronics Engineering Technology, with a minor in Computer Science, from the University of Southern Mississippi in 1984.

Dr. Dumas is a faculty member in the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga's College of Engineering and Computer Science, where he holds the rank of UC Foundation Professor and has served as a Faculty Senator and Chair of the Graduate Council, among a number of campus leadership positions. He was chosen as Outstanding Computer Science Teacher in 1998, 2002, and 2009. Dr. Dumas' areas of interest include computer architecture, embedded systems, virtual reality, and real-time, human-in-the-loop simulation.

Dr. Dumas is a member of several academic honor societies including Upsilon Pi Epsilon (Computer Science), Eta Kappa Nu (Electrical Engineering), Tau Beta Pi (Engineering), and Tau Alpha Pi (Engineering Technology). He was a founding member of the Chattanooga chapter of the IEEE Computer Society and served for several years as faculty advisor for the UTC student chapter of IEEE-CS. An avid downhill skier, tennis player, and distance runner with over 30 completed marathons, Joe Dumas lives in Signal Mountain, Tennessee with his wife Chereé.

Rezensionen

"In this book, topics are selected and treated in a well-balanced manner by taking into account both breadth and depth. Sufficient explanation and discussions are devoted to essential concepts and components of computer systems while a comprehensive introduction about the general knowledge related with computer architecture is provided. Each chapter is well structured with an introduction, major sections, and end-of-chapter thought-provoking review questions. It is easy for an instructor to cover most of the topics in a one-semester course, or customize the content coverage for quarter-based courses. Conversational text indicated with simple, clear, and informative figures makes reading the book and learning the concepts enjoyable."
