What books describe in detail the device of the processor?

Question

Iron

At the moment, I do not remember the school physics course and did not study radio electronics, but there is a desire to understand the computer structure completely. What books should I read? I would like to start with the operation of the transistor and end with an understanding of everything that happens inside the computer.

Answer 1

harris and harris

Answer 2

What is the purpose? If "pure" programming, then not only transistors, but even flip-flops and registers are too small. It is enough to consider the ALU, instruction decoder, pipeline, memory controller with MMU, etc. fundamental blocks.
If you want to develop or use them "in hardware" - then you need to go "from the stove" (transistor). In addition to the mentioned Harrises - Horowitz and Hill with a wide scope (from transistors themselves - to analog and digital circuitry).
Or maybe - and go from both ends at once.

This may not be serious, but the knowledge gained from this video was enough to make my own redstone calculator in minecraft, which can add, subtract 16 bit numbers.
