Contents:

1. Illusions -- 2. Instruction Set Design -- 3. Memory Organization -- 4. Single Stream Control -- 5. Object-Oriented Processing -- 6. Single I-Stream Parallelism -- 7. Parallelism by Message Passing -- 8. Shared-Resource Systems -- 9. Protection and Security -- Appendix A SPARC Summary -- Appendix B Alpha AXP -- Appendix C MC680X0 -- Appendix D Stack-Oriented Systems -- Appendix E Naming Memory Objects -- Appendix F Memory Allocation -- Appendix G Associative Memories -- Appendix H Prolog -- Appendix I List Processing -- Appendix J Systolic Arrays -- Appendix K Data Flow Systems -- Appendix L Reasoning and Proofs.

Summary: This work presents a coherent approach to computer system design that encompasses many, if not most, of the design problems and solution options - starting from the structures of contemporary programming languages and operating systems, extending inwards to the processor's architecture and its implementation. It covers not only the basic tricks and techniques but also the relationships between software and hardware levels of system implementation and operation.
