Abstract

The levelwise structuring and complexity of a computer system is presented informally and as a general model based upon the notion of abstract machines (processors), processes and interpreters. The important domains of the computer architect are considered along with historical perspectives of certain stimulae and decisions that have affected the distribution of functions amongst the various levels of computer system implementations.
