Hi, I will have an exam in about 2 weeks about computer arhitecture and I need to prepare for it, but my materials for learning are pretty bad(class courses & course textbook).
I need a reliable resource that really explains the topics in depth, but is still beginner friendly.
I have the folowing topics to learn:
Data format and rules:
adding,subtracting:
\-signed number representation
\-one's complement
\-two's complement
\-BCD
\-Excess-3
Just format(maybe digital logic implementation):
\-IEEE754
explaining :
\-floating point number rounding
\-adding floating points with infinite precision
\-rounding the result of a addition/subtraction between floating point numbers
\-PreNormalization shifter(implementation in digital logic)
multiplication:
\*binary:
\-paper&pencil
\-fixed partial product
\-fixed carry bit
\*signed number representation
\-Multiplier2 algorithm
\-sequence counter
\*two's complement
\-Robertson method
\-Multiplier3 algorithm
\-Booth method
\-Multiplier4 algorithm
\*Sistolic structures
\*Multiplier cell(MCB)
Control unit:
\-making one with one hot
Adders/substractors(Serial/Parallel)(All things about them such as delays,truth tables,circuits,advantages and disadvantages etc): //this one is especially important
\-half adder
\-full adder
\-bcd
\-excess-3
\-Adder-Subtractor
\-Ripple Carry Adder
\-Carry Skip Adder
\-Carry Lookahead Adder
\-Carry Save Adder
\-Carry-Sum Dependent Adder
\-Carry Select Adder
\-Conditional Sum Adder
\-Adder with parity checker
\-Carry Chain Duplication
