The Structured Computer Organization was written by the author Andrew S. Tanenbaum. This book provides an accessible introduction to computer hardware and architecture. Tanenbaum’s style is telegraphic as presented in the cover of the book. Computer terms are usually from the normal words we have and so Tanenbaum used normal graphics to be represented apart from the original technical term of the word to be presented on the cover as for the reader to have a general knowledge or idea about the book he will be reading about.

It is presented by a tree specially its branches and a person holding a magnifying glass which signifies an observation or study.
GATE
It is the building blocks of digital technology.
It is presented by a gate which signifies an opening permitting passage.
PCI EXPRESS
Peripheral Component Interconnect is a high-speed serial connection that operates more like a network than a bus presented by a man who drives motor fast
CACHE
It is a component that transparently stores data so that future requests for that data can be served faster.
It is presented by a dog which is keeping its bones.
BLUE GENE
It is a computer architecture project to produce several supercomputers.
It is presented by a newsletter man wearing a blue pants.
MEDIA PROCESSOR
It is a microprocessor-based system-on-a-chip which is designed to deal with digital streaming data in real-time.
It is presented by a newsletter man who signifies as a source of media.
PIPELINE
It is a set of data processing elements connected in series.
It is presented by a long tubular pipeline which signifies a succession.
DIGITAL LOGIC LEVEL
It is an introduction to information representation and number systems.
DYNAMIC RAM
It is random access memory which the charge on individual memory cells must be refreshed periodically in order to retain data.
It is presented by a ram which is a male sheep.
STATIC RAM
It is a random access memory which each memory cell stores a binary digit (1 or 0) for as long as power is supplied.
It is presented by a ram which is a male sheep.
FLIP FLOP
It is the simplest memory circuit in a computer’s processor.
It is presented by a man who is flopping.
1Hz CLOCK
It is an electronic pulses which are emitted periodically, usually by a crystal device, to synchronize the operation of circuits in a computer.
It is presented by a clock which measures time.
MICROARCHITECTURE LEVEL
It is the combination of elements and interconnections required to implement an instruction set architecture.
INTERPRETER
It is a program that translates and executes source language statements one line at a time.
It is presented by a person who provides an oral translation between speakers who speak different languages.
ADDER
It is the function of which is to add a single digit of each of two inputs.
It is presented by a person who added words through type writer.
ISA LEVEL
Instruction Set Architecture is the code that a central processor reads and acts upon.
It is the machine language (or assembly language), including the instruction set, word size, memory address modes, processor registers, and address and data formats.
MOUSETRAP
It is an asynchronous pipeline style is introduced for high-speed applications.
It is presented by a mouse and a trap.
EMBEDDED COMPUTER
It is the developing expertise in programming languages and technical issues relating to software development.
It is presented by a computer lying in the bed.
PENTIUM 4
It is a line of single-core desktop and laptop central processing units (CPUs).
It is presented by a woman facing a computer.
OPERATING SYSTEM LEVEL
It is the design of operating systems and other systems that works the software and hardware smoothly
OPERATING SYSTEM
It is the most important program that runs on a computer and performs basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers.
It is presented by a medical operation procedure.
WINDOWS
It is a rectangular area on the screen that displays its own file or message independently of the other areas of the screen.
It is presented by a house-hold window.
RACE
It is a flaw in an electronic system or process whereby the output or result of the process is unexpectedly and critically dependent on the sequence or timing of other events.
It is presented by a human race competition.
ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE LEVEL
It is the programming language for computers, microprocessors, microcontrollers, and other programmable devices.
ASSEMBLER LOADER
It is a utility program is used to translate assembly language statements into the target computer's machine code. One-pass assemblers go through the source code once. Any symbol used before it is defined will require "errata" at the end of the object code (or, at least, no earlier than the point where the symbol is defined) telling the linker or the loader to "go back" and overwrite a placeholder which had been left where the as yet undefined symbol was used, presented by two men who assembles and carries a load.
HIGH-LEVEL LANGUAGE
It is a programming language with strong abstraction from the details of the computer.
It is presented by a man who signifies having a strong idea of abstraction.
LOW-LEVEL LANGUAGE
It is a programming language that provides little or no abstraction from a computer's instruction set architecture and described as being close to the hardware.
It is presented by a baby who signifies having no idea of abstraction.
