Computer Systems , fifth edition offers a clear, detailed, step-by-step introduction to the central concepts in computer organization, assembly language, and computer architecture.

New high-order language — The high-order language is changed from C++ to C. The C language is more common as a systems programming language and is more appropriate for a computer systems text.
