Like the highly regarded first edition, this second edition of Understanding the Machine covers machine organisation and computer science topics like the CPU, machine architecture, memory and cache organisation, I/O and peripheral devices, and how the decoding and execution of machine instructions affects software performance. This edition has been updated to cover 64-bit machines, newer peripheral devices, larger memory systems, large-scale SSDs, and newer CPUs like those used in personal computers and tablets.
