A Must book!
Though this book is not as popular as H&P, but it gives a concrete illustrate examples on how the problems can been conquerred and resolved (you can check both authors backgrounds to find out why). Any serious computer sciences or computer engineering majors should have this book as their standard reference book on the shelf in case anybody asking any nuts and bots questions regarding CA.

WOW! I love this book!
I you are serious about learning what actually happens inside the computer and how it works, how your C program is translated into machine code - from C -> Preprocessor -> Assembler -> Object Code and how the computer executes the object code. + a lot of hardware stuff, digital logic, binary arithmetic and more. This is THE BOOK!

You might need to read the chapters in this book a couple of times to fully understand it. But this book really helps you to understand what going on inside that beige box.

Do yourself a favor, buy this book!

Clearly written? The previous reader must have been ...
"confused", to say the least ... the book is plainly horrible, it tries to explain some simple examples and then throws a lot of difficult stuff that is barely explained or not at all ... no answers to problems ... mistakes ... i don't know what to say, but certainly not recommended for undergrad use.
