So this is the beginning chapter where ideally we'll be able to get a grasp for how a computer works beyond just our programs.
This segment ideally would be broken into a couple of sections.
| Topic | Summary |
|---|---|
| Modern Machines | Computer Design, from the ground up. |
| C | Basics of Programming in C |
| Assembly | The basics behind different processors, and the different types of Instruction Set Architecture |
| CPU Design And Architecture | stages of execution, basic CPU organization, single-cycle and multiple-cycle designs, microprogramming vs. hardwired control, interrupts |
| Caches | How we use caches to keep information as close to the processor as possible |
| Circuits | Basic Digital Logic Design |
