Summary

A thorough, yet brief, introduction to the basics of computer architecture AND assembly language programming, this volume presents topics in a complete and “detailed” fashion from the ground up — making all material accessible to readers with no experience in either area.

Features

uses the MC68000 as a model for both the hardware and programming aspects.
uses a subset — SIM68 — to demonstrate how a computer might be designed using register level components and to introduce MC68000 assembly language programming.
discusses computer organization at the gate level, register level, system level, and network level.
explores assembly language programming in terms of computer system basics, a simple programmers model — SIM68, programming on the MC68000, and controlling devices.
