Synopsis

Microcomputer Architectures: Collection of Solved Problems. This collection of solved problems is primarily intended as a study aid for students preparing for midterm tests and written exams involving calculation-based tasks in the field of microcomputer structures, microprocessors, and microcontrollers. The problems are organized into chapters that cover computer performance, communication between main computer components, cache memory, internal and external memory, input-output organization of microprocessors, instruction sets of the central processing unit, addressing modes and instruction formats, and assembly language programming. The final chapter focuses on testing knowledge through the analysis of code segments and the writing of short programs for Intel x86 and ARM microprocessors.

Author Biography

Zmago Brezočnik, University of Maribor, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science

Dr. Zmago Brezočnik is a full professor of electronics and telecommunications at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of Maribor. His research interests include the formal verification of microcomputer systems and communication protocols. One outcome of this research is the integrated development environment SpinRCP for the Spin model checker, which is available to the international research community for verifying the correctness of concurrent and distributed systems. He is the author or co-author of numerous journal articles, conference papers, two university textbooks, and other teaching materials. He has also lectured at five foreign universities. He founded the IEEE Student Branch at the University of Maribor and served as its long-time advisor.
