About this document
Computer System Storage Hierarchy by Prachi Saxena is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This chapter discusses computer system structures including I/O structure, storage structure, and hardware protection mechanisms. I/O devices operate concurrently with the CPU and use interrupts to signal completion. Storage follows a hierarchy from fast but expensive memory to slower secondary storage. Hardware protection mechanisms like dual mode operation and memory protection regions allow the operating system to isolate programs and control privileged system resources.
