The exemplar result of several years of teaching, laboratory experience and evaluation, Basics of Computer Organization and Architecture: Problems and Solutionsstarts with a brief history of electronic computers and covers all units of digital computers. This book educates its readers on a wide range of units, including; history of computers, number systems and codes, fixed point arithmetic, floating point arithmetic, decimal arithmetic, ALU Design, control unit, hardwired and micro-programmed control unit configurations and design, memories, memory interfacing, buses, examples of standard serial and parallel buses, input and output devices and I/O modes, introduction to 8 bit microprocessors and microcontrollers and more. Rao demonstrates problems in graded form starting from simple and increasing to reasonably complex in level.
