《计算机组成及汇编语言原理》学习第 1 天，p1-p8 总结，总计 8 页。
一、技术总结
1.Intel 8088
microprocessor(微处理器)， 1979-1988。
2.MS-DOS
Microsoft Disk Operating System的缩写，是一个操作系统(operating system)。
3.Moore’s Law & Moore’s second law
(1)Moore’s law
The number of transistors in an integrated circuit (IC) doubles about every two years.
(2)Moore’s second law
p6，Fabrications cost doubles every 4 years。
4.components of a computer
Central Processing Unit(Control Unit，ALU)、memory(ROM, RAM)、Input/Output (I/O) Peripherals、Interconnections and Buses、Support Units。
注：这里的 memory 不包含 disk。
二、英语总结(生词：5)
1.niece
(1)niece
c. daughter of one’s brother or sister(外甥女、侄女)。p4, To My Nieces: Lyric Elizabeth, Jayce Rebekah, and Trinity Elizabeth
(2)nephew
与 niece 相对的是 nephew。c. son of one’s brother or sister(外甥、侄子)
2.美国大学各年级学生称谓
(1)freshman
(2)sophomore
(3)junior
(4)senior
p14, When I started teaching at my present university (1998), the organization and architecture course focused on the 8088 running MS-DOS—essentially a programming environment as old as the sophomores taking the class。
3.guinea pig
Acknowledgements, Without the students at Duquesne University, and particularly my guinea pigs from the Computer Organization and Assembly Language classes, this textbook couldn’t have happened.
c.也写作guineapig，a small animal covered in fur with rounded ears, short legs, and no tail, often kept as a pet by children(豚鼠)。
在这里，作者是一种比喻用法，将 students 比喻成 guinea pigs。
4.beige
u. a pale brown color(米色)。adj. pale brown in color。p3, If you asked, most people would point to a set of boxes on someone’s desk (or perhaps in someone’s briefcase)—probably a set of dull-looking rectangular boxes encased in gray or beige plastic, and surrounded by a tangle of wires and perhaps something resembling a TV.
5.implication
c/u. an occasion when you seem to suggest sth without saying it directly（暗示）这是最常用的意思。
c(usually pluaral). the effect that an action or decision will have on sth else in the future((可能的或间接的)影响).
p6, The implications of smaller transistors (and increasing transistor density) are profound.
三、其它
1.为什么选择这本书？
这本书来自于：https://github.com/codefollower/My-Blog/issues/1。工作之后，个人一直追求的一个方面就是“系统化”，笼统的来说就是两方面“基础”+“专业”。这本书属于基础方面的深化，通过 Java 虚拟机来讲计算机组成。
很多路你要自己走过了才知道对不对，读书也是这样，只有自己真正读过了，才知道好不好，才能内化为自己的东西。
