Instead of treating hardware and operating systems as unrelated subjects, this book shows you how processors, memory, storage, firmware, kernels, and applications work together as one complete system.\u003cbr\u003eWhether you're studying computer science, preparing for an IT career, strengthening your certification foundation, or simply tired of accepting that computers \"just work,\" this book helps you build the mental model behind modern computing.\u003cbr\u003eInside, you'll learn how to: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaster binary, hexadecimal, Boolean logic, logic gates, and digital circuit fundamentals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFollow the CPU through registers, ALUs, instruction cycles, pipelining, branch prediction, and multicore processing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstand cache architecture, DRAM, virtual memory, paging, storage, RAID, PCIe, and I\/O\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplore operating system kernels, processes, threads, scheduling, synchronization, and file systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrace the complete boot process from firmware and UEFI to the operating system kernel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstand virtualization, cloud infrastructure, hardware security, and emerging architectures including ARM and RISC-V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReinforce difficult concepts with worked examples, diagrams, chapter summaries, a glossary, and quick-reference appendices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eBuilt progressively from first principles, the material assumes no previous coursework in computer architecture or operating systems. Each chapter builds naturally on the concepts that came before, making complex systems easier to understand without sacrificing technical depth.\u003cb\u003eBuild the systems knowledge that makes everything else in computing make more sense-add Computer Hardware and Systems Software Architecture to your library today.\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":67793988288663,"sku":"9798194773114","price":13682.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798194773114.webp?v=1790693230","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/computer-hardware-and-systems-software-architecture-9798194773114","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
