- A
- basic
- guide
- to
- learn
- Design
- and
- Programming
- of
- the

- device
- that
- manages
- the
- computer
- hardware.
- This
- book
- is
- a
- complete
- textbook
- that

- theory,
- implementation,
- case
- studies,
- a
- lot
- of
- review
- questions,
- questions
- from
- GATE
- and
- some
- smart
- tips.
- Many
