This easy-to-follow textbook offers a practically-driven approach to Computer Architecture in order for readers to gain a deeper understanding of the theory behind the topic. This comprehensive text uses Verilog (a Hardware Description Language) as a practical vehicle for modelling and experimenting with digital logic, and it is used as a bridge between the low-level, digital logic approach, and high-level systems architecture approach discussed throughout. Features: / Includes a wide-ranging introductory chapter, familiarising the reader with both the subject and the book's contents / Provides learning tools such as chapter overviews, summaries, example problems and answers throughout / Additional material such as example source code and electronic lecture slides are available via a complementary website This practical reader-friendly text has been written with undergraduates in mind, and is also suitable for self-study.

From the reviews: "The first impression is that the book tries to cover all aspects of computer design. ... To summarize, the book lives up to its title. It is a practical and interesting introduction to computer architecture. ... It is a good reference book that could be used as a guide in a computer architecture curriculum." (Javier Castillo, ACM Computing Reviews, August, 2009) "Page ... has tried to include 'topics every computer science student should have at least a basic grasp of.' ... The book is clearly written and technically accurate. The exercises are good, with extensive solutions provided. The volume admirably serves its goal of offering a comprehensive introduction to computer science. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower- and upper-division undergraduates, two-year technical program students, research/faculty, practitioners, and general readers." (C. Vickery, Choice, Vol. 47 (4), December, 2009)
