computer's organization
Author
I learned computer language and algorithm but dont have basic like computer's organization ,so I want to learn about how computer work , how it store data, compute. How can I? bought some book or read from websites?
thanks
It really depends on what level you want to understand it. Personally I have found Computer Architecture: A quantitative approach, 3rd edition to be an excellent book for programming and CS purposes, but it won't tell you how a CPU is implemented in terms of transistors. Also it won't go over everything in terms a 2nd grader could understand and it does contain some theory and abstract concepts.
A fourth edition is out, but according to Amazon it's 430 pages shorter so I'm not sure whether it's actually a better choice or not (I have only read the third).

Well, you might want to read up bin binary/hexadecimal number systems, semiconductors, half/full binary adders.
1. Read the processor manual provided by intel and amd.
2. http://www.nondot.org/sabre/os/articles
3. http://my.execpc.com/~geezer/osd/index.htm
4. http://o3one.org/
5. http://osdever.net/
Hope that gives you a start to find more info. Good luck.
P.S.: You may also want to look into how a simple microcontroller (like atmel avr) works.

Code: Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software
Explains how computers work in some detail. It builds a virtual computer
from basic transisters, relays, resisters, etc. Comes in both hard cover
and soft cover formats.
