The Elements of Computing Systems: Building a Modern Computer from First Principles
ISBN: 0262640686
Binding: Paperback
Edition:
Author(s): Noam Nisan, Shimon Schocken
Publisher: The MIT Press
Number of Pages: 341
In the early days of computer science the interactions of hardware software compilers and operating system were simple enough to allow students to see an overall picture of how computers worked With the increasing complexity of computer technology and the resulting specialization of knowledge such clarity is often lost Unlike other texts that cover only one aspect of the field The Elements of Computing Systems gives students an integrated and rigorous picture of applied computer science as its comes to play in the construction of a simple yet powerful computer systemIndeed the best way to understand how computers work is to build one from scratch and this textbook leads students through twelve chapters and projects that gradually build a basic hardware platform and a modern software hierarchy from the ground up In the process the students gain hands-on knowledge of hardware architecture operating systems programming languages compilers data structures algorithms and software engineering Using this constructive approach the book exposes a significant body of computer science knowledge and demonstrates how theoretical and applied techniques taught in other courses fit into the overall pictureDesigned to support one- or two-semester courses the book is based on an abstraction-implementation paradigm; each chapter presents a key hardware or software abstraction a proposed implementation that makes it concrete and an actual project The emerging computer system can be built by following the chapters although this is only one option since the projects are self-contained and can be done or skipped in any order All the computer science knowledge necessary for completing the projects is embedded in the book the only pre-requisite being a programming experienceThe book's web site provides all tools and materials necessary to build all the hardware and software systems described in the text including two hundred test programs for the twelve projects The projects and systems can be modified to meet various teaching needs and all the supplied software is open-source

Publisher: Princeton University Press
Number of Pages: 248
Every day we use our computers to perform remarkable feats A simple web search picks out a handful of relevant needles from the world's biggest haystack: the billions of pages on the World Wide Web Uploading a photo to Facebook transmits millions of pieces of information over numerous error-prone network links yet somehow a perfect copy of the photo arrives intact Without even knowing it we use public-key cryptography to transmit secret information like credit card numbers; and we use digital signatures to verify the identity of the websites we visit How do our computers perform these tasks with such ease This is the first book to answer that question in language anyone can understand revealing the extraordinary ideas that power our PCs laptops and smartphones Using vivid examples John MacCormick explains the fundamental "tricks" behind nine types of computer algorithms including artificial intelligence (where we learn about the "nearest neighbor trick" and "twenty questions trick") Google's famous PageRank algorithm (which uses the "random surfer trick") data compression error correction and much more These revolutionary algorithms have changed our world: this book unlocks their secrets and lays bare the incredible ideas that our computers use every day
