	Computer Organization
		Similarly the output produced by the computer after processing must also be kept somewhere inside the computer before being given to you in human readable form.
		Computer memory is used to store two things: i) instructions to execute a program and ii) data.
		Therefore it is the computer that takes information or data in decimal form from you, convert it in to binary form, process it producing output in binary form and again convert the output to decimal form.

	Computer Impact on the Organization (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Early investigation on the organizational impact of the computer by academic researchers suggested that the conventional hierarchical pyramid would be replaced with new organizational patterns.
		By the mid-1980s John Diebold sees computers as "the heart of the structure" and expects all levels of management to be involved in one or another information processing activity.
		In another study, when a computer system was installed in the home office of a medium-sized insurance company the result was found to be an increase in central control and decision-making.

	Workshop on Perceptual Organization in Computer Vision
		As recognized by the Gestalt school, the importance of perceptual organization (PO) in human vision cannot be overestimated; it imparts both efficiency and robustness to the visual process.
		Indeed, it can be argued that a reasonable computational model of perception can be built around the notion of repeated detection and classification of organized structure.
		The output of this workshop is a special issue on Perceptual Organization in Computer in the Computer Vision and Image Understanding Journal (Oct 1999 issue).

	What Every Computer Scientist Should Know About Floating-Point Arithmetic
		One method of computing the difference between two floating-point numbers is to compute the difference exactly and then round it to the nearest floating-point number.
		It enables libraries to efficiently compute quantities to within about.5 ulp in single (or double) precision, giving the user of those libraries a simple model, namely that each primitive operation, be it a simple multiply or an invocation of log, returns a value accurate to within about.5 ulp.
		The section Guard Digits pointed out that computing the exact difference or sum of two floating-point numbers can be very expensive when their exponents are substantially different.

	Computer Organization (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Computer Organization refers to the level of abstraction above the digital logic level, but below the operating system level.
		At this level, the major components are functional units or subsystems that correspond to specific pieces of hardware built from the lower level building blocks described in the previous module.
		A closely related term, computer architecture, emphasizes the engineering decisions and tradeoffs that must be made in order to produce a "good" design.

	ERCB: DDJ Programmer's Bookshelf May 1992
		Structured Computer Organization's title makes it sound dry, formal, and concrete, but the title is just Tanenbaum's way of waming you that he proposes to describe the digital computer at every level, from the electrons to the command prompt.
		It then embarks on a grand tour of computer architecture, beginning with the fundamentals of digital logic and progressing through registers, memory, buses, microprogramming, conventional instruction sets, addressing schemes, virtual memory, flow of control, and operating systems.
		Computer Networks attacks the intimidating topic of networking and communications with much the same thoroughness and tenacity that we saw in Structured Computer Organization.

		Text covers all the major areas of computer function in detail but is still accessible to a broad audience.
		Following a few introductory chapters which give both a historical, conceptual, and structural overview of the computer, Tanenbaum partakes upon a semi-detailed introduction to the various "levels" of a computer, beginning with the digital-logic level (the actual hardware) and working up to both the operating-systems and assembly-language levels.
		I wish they'd write computer science books the way mathematicians write their books: They assume their students are "mathematically-challenged" so they go that extra mile to make sure the students get the point.

	Computer Organization (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The classic description of a computer's organization is attributed to John von Neumann (1903-1957), though his original description of a machine named the EDVAC was far more complex.
		Note: the ALU and control unit together are usually referred to as the central processing unit (CPU) or simply, the processor.
		The concept of the stored program is also commonly attributed only to John von Neumann, but in fact it was the original design of the members of the ENIAC project.
