I read through couple chapters and enjoyed it. Does anyone have suggestions on other books dealing with this level of complexity?

- JoelHobson 12y agoI haven't read any of the chapters of this, so my comparison may be a bit off, but you might check out The Elements Of Computing Systems[1]. It goes from logic gates to compilers. http://www.nand2tetris.org/book.php http://www.nand2tetris.org/book.php
- Rusky 12y agoI thoroughly enjoyed this book but it doesn't go into near as much detail as I would like- it gives a vague, general concept of how things work and some pointers on how to implement them, but doesn't really go into real systems, often relegating major features to "optimizations", etc.
- maaaats 12y agoModern Operating Systems by Tanenbaum, perhaps? Here is the table of contents: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3K8J39AMWS64U/ref=cm_cr_dp_title?ie=UTF8&ASIN=0136006639&nodeID=283155&store=books http://www.amazon.com/review/R3K8J39AMWS64U/ref=cm_cr_dp_tit...
- zhemao 12y agoFor something covering the "lower half" of this material, I highly recommend Patterson and Hennessy's "Computer Organization and Design". I'm currently reading the 5th edition, and have gotten to the last chapter, which is on parallel processors.
- zhemao 12y agoI should mention that print copies of the book are pretty expensive, but you can easily Google for .epub or .pdf downloads/torrents.
- chetanahuja 12y agoIf you're looking for a really great book on basics of systems with particular focus on Unix/Linux and C (like what this tutorial seems to be... rather than all computer science), I don't think you could do better than "Computer Systems, A Programmer's perspective" by Bryant and O'Hallaron.
