Microprocessors; Computer hardware

"Following the comic-filled yet educational format of its predecessors in the Manga Guide series, The Manga Guide to Microprocessors is an introductory guide to the internal workings of microprocessors which contain the CPU, the core of modern computers. With the aid of numerous comic illustrations, readers learn how the CPU processes information and makes decisions; how to make sense of binary; what logic gates are and how they can be combined to make functioning machines; how circuits are used to perform arithmetic or to remember information; memory and interrupts; how data passes through the bus; the type and nature of digital operations; even a bit of assembly and other programming languages. The book assumes no prior knowledge and readers learn together with the book's protagonist, Ayumi Katsugari.

Ayumi is a world-class shogi (Japanese chess) player who can't be beaten-that is, until she loses to a powerful computer called the Shooting Star. Ayumi vows to find out everything she can about her new nemesis. Lucky for her, Yuu Kano, the genius programmer behind the Shooting Star, is willing to teach her all about the inner workings of the microprocessor-the ""brain"" inside all computers, phones, and gadgets.

Follow along with Ayumi inThe Manga Guide to Microprocessorsand you'll learn about-

-How the CPU processes information and makes decision -How computers perform arithmetic operations and store information -logic gates and how they're used in integrated circuits -the Key components of modern computers, including registers, GPUs, and RAM -Assembly language and how it differs from high-level programming languages

Whether you're a computer science student or just want to understand the power of microprocessors, you'll find what you need to know inThe Manga Guide to Microprocessors."
