Computers perform countless tasks ranging from the business critical to the
recreational, but regardless of how differently they may look and behave,
they're all amazingly similar in basic function. Once you understand how the
microprocessor--or central processing unit (CPU)--works, you'll have a firm
grasp of the fundamental concepts at the heart of all modern computing.

Inside the Machine

, from the co-founder of the highly respected Ars Technica website, explains
how microprocessors operate--what they do and how they do it. The book uses
analogies, diagrams, and clear language to convey the ideas that form the
basis of modern computing. After discussing computers in the abstract, the
book examines specific microprocessors from Intel, IBM, and Motorola, from the
original models up through today's leading processors. It contains the most
comprehensive and up-to-date information available (online or in print) on
Intel's latest processors: the Pentium M, Core, and Core 2 Duo.

Inside the Machine

also explains technology terms and concepts that readers often hear but may
not fully understand, such as "pipelining," "L1 cache," "main memory,"
"superscalar processing," and "out-of-order execution."

Includes discussion of:

-Parts of the computer and microprocessor

-Programming fundamentals (arithmetic instructions, memory accesses, control flow instructions, and data types)

-Intermediate and advanced microprocessor concepts (branch prediction and speculative execution)

-Intermediate and advanced computing concepts (instruction set architectures, RISC and CISC, the memory hierarchy, and encoding and decoding machine language instructions)

-64-bit computing vs. 32-bit computing

-Caching and performance

Inside the Machine

is perfect for students of science and engineering, IT and business
professionals, and the growing community of hardware tinkerers who like to dig
into the guts of their machines.
