Was steht drin:

Dies ist ein klassisches amerikanisches Lehrbuch über Computerentwurf. Die erste Ausgabe erschien 1971, aber die Ausgabe von 1982 ist aufgrund der rasante Entwicklung zwischen 1970 und 1980 grundlegend erneuert worden
Es werden in ca. 50 Artikeln Designprinzipien und Implementierungen von Computern zwischen 1950 und 1980 dargestellt.
Die Spanne reicht von 1-Chip Mikroprozessoren bis zur Cray-1. Zusätzlich werden Tischrechner, Netzwerke, fehlertolerante Systeme, parallele Systeme und vieles andere dargestellt.
Gordon Bell ist ein bekannter Computerwissenschaftler und einer der Star-Architekten von DEC.

Warum sollte man es lesen:

Weil es eine einzigartige Sammlung von technischen Artikeln über alle wichtigen bekannten und unbekannten klassischen U.S.-Computer ist.
Viele Artikel sind von den Konstrukteuren selbst verfasst.
Enthält genug Material für 100 Wikipedia-Einträge!
