Book Description

This was the first book to explore the new breed of stack computers led by the introduction of the Novix NC4016 chip. The author commences with an overview of how stacks are used in computing, and a taxonomy of hardware stack support which includes a survey of approximately 70 stack machines past and present.

Detailed descriptions, including block diagrams and instruction set summaries, are given for seven new stack processors from Harris Semiconductor, Novix, Johns Hopkins University/APL, MISC, WISC Technologies, and Wright State University. Major topics covered also include architectural analysis of stack machines, software issues, application areas, and potential for future development.

• Basic Computer Architecture (Smruti R. Sarangi)

  This book is a comprehensive text on basic, undergraduate-level computer architecture. It includes the combinational units, ALUs, processor, basic 5-stage pipeline, and a microcode-based design.

• Computer Organization and Design Fundamentals (David L. Tarnoff)

  This book takes the reader from the basic design principles of the modern digital computer to a top-level examination of its architecture. The material is presented using practical terms and examples for a better computer systems design.

• Scientific Programming and Computer Architecture

  The book digs into linkers, compilers, operating systems, and computer architecture to understand how the different parts of the computer interact with programs. It begins with a review of C/C++ and explanations of how libraries, linkers, and Makefiles work.
