MGMT 1040 Chapter 10 Notes – Summary
Introduction
Input / Output
• The most thorough discussion of the x 86 architecture is found in Mueller [MUEL08].
• I also recommend Brey [BREY08], Messmer [MESS01], and Sargent and Shoemaker
[SARG95] for the Intel x86 series.
• The PC System Architecture series is a collection of short books describing the
architectures of various parts of computers.
• Volume 5 [SHAN04] describes the evolution and architecture of the Pentium
• The case studies provided in Supplementary are additional information resources.
• Stallings also includes an entire chapter on superscalar processors.
• Clear, detailed discussions of all aspects of CPU and memory design can be found in the
two books by Patterson and Hennessy [PATT07, HENN06].
• There are many additional references in each of these books.
• Specific discussions of the superscalar processing techniques for particular CPUs can be
found in Liptay [LIPT92] for the IBM ES/9000 mainframe, in Becker and colleagues
[BECK93],Thompson and Ryan[THOM94], Burgess and colleagues [BURG94], and Ryan
[‘YAN93] for the PowerPC, ad Tour of the P [THO‘9] for the P.
• An alternative approach to the topics in this chapter can be found in any assembly
language textbook.
• There are many good books on these topics, with new ones appearing every day.
• A website such as Amazon is a good resource for identifying the best currently available.
• Of course youre aware that o atter how powerful the CPU is, a coputer systes
usefulness ultimately depends on its input and output facilities.
• Without I/O there is no possibility of keyboard input, of screen output, of printout.
• Even of disk storage and retrieval.
