Download or read book Newnes PC Pocket Book written by Ian Robertson and published by Butterworth-Heinemann. This book was released on 1994 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With this book the emphasis is on the computer user rather than on the programmer or constructor, so that the text will assume a fairly low level of experience and understanding of the machine. In this respect it will answer the questions that appear time and time again in the magazines (printing a sign being the all time top of the list), and bring together, inside one volume, a lot of information that the user would otherwise need to glean from several books. At the same time, it presents an opportunity to point the user to the more specialised books for further information. * Covers everything in one concise book, the PC User needs to know in order to get the best out of a PC system * For each topic there is a wealth of tips and techniques that will benefit all PC Users * Up to date coverage of Windows 3.1; Windows NT; DOS 6.0 is included in the book * Looks in depth at upgrade strategies ... to upgrade or not to upgrade! Useful advice, tips and tricks.

Download or read book Microprocessor Architectures written by Steve Heath and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2014-06-28 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Why are there all these different processor architectures and what do they all mean? Which processor will I use? How should I choose it?' Given the task of selecting an architecture or design approach, both engineers and managers require a knowledge of the whole system and an explanation of the design tradeoffs and their effects. This is information that rarely appears in data sheets or user manuals. This book fills that knowledge gap.Section 1 provides a primer and history of the three basic microprocessor architectures. Section 2 describes the ways in which the architectures react with the system. Section 3 looks at some more commercial aspects such as semiconductor technology, the design cycle, and selection criteria. The appendices provide benchmarking data and binary compatibility standards. Since the first edition of this book was published, much has happened within the industry. The Power PC architecture has appeared and RISC has become a more significant challenger to CISC. The book now includes new material on Power PC, and a complete chapter devoted to understanding the RISC challenge. The examples used in the text have been based on Motorola microprocessor families, but the system considerations are also applicable to other processors. For this reason comparisons to other designs have been included, and an overview of other processors including the Intel 80x86 and Pentium, DEC Alpha, SUN Sparc, and MIPS range has been given. Steve Heath has been involved in the design and development of microprocessor based systems since 1982. These designs have included VMEbus systems, microcontrollers, IBM PCs, Apple Macintoshes, and both CISC and RISC based multiprocessor systems, while using operating systems as varied as MS-DOS, UNIX, Macintosh OS and real time kernels. An avid user of computer systems, he has written numerous articles and papers for the electronics press, as well as books from Butterworth-Heinemann including VMEbus: A Practical Companion; PowerPC: A Practical Companion; MAC User's Pocket Book; UNIX Pocket Book; Upgrading Your PC Pocket Book; Upgrading Your MAC Pocket Book; and Effective PC Networking.

Download or read book Newnes Microprocessor Pocket Book written by Steve Money and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2014-05-12 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Newnes Microprocessor Pocket Book explains the basic hardware operation of a microprocessor and describes the actions of the various types of instruction that can be executed. A summary of the characteristics of many of the popular microprocessors is presented. Apart from the popular 8- and 16-bit microprocessors, some details are also given of the popular single chip microcomputers and of the reduced instruction set computer (RISC) type processors such as the Transputer, Novix FORTH processor, and Acorn ARM processor. Comprised of 15 chapters, this book discusses the principles involved in both parallel and serial input-output interfaces and gives details of the common standards used for parallel and serial input-output systems. Although discrete logic can be used for input-output interfaces, most microprocessor-based systems use specially developed integrated circuits for this purpose. Examples of these special interface chips are described with details of their internal arrangement and the basic techniques for programming their modes of operation. This covers parallel and serial input-output chips, counters and timers as well as one or two of the multifunction peripheral chips that are available. Data formats, instruction sets, display systems, and system development are also considered. This monograph will be of interest to students and to anyone involved in designing, servicing, or just wishing to learn more about microprocessor-based systems.
