  • Books

    Repository used to save different kinds of books (by Seanforfun)

    • Their link to "Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach (5th edition)" (https://booksite.elsevier.com/9780123838728/references.php) is broken. Here's a couple more [1],[2].

    I'm also surprised Jeff Erickson's free lecture notes [3] aren't there given 1) its easy to remember domain 2) its incredibly high, practical quality. Practical because I've had interviews that just grab questions from the book, and also because his course is basically just a walk-through of the book. It's also very easy to read, and although I didn't do great in his class, his conceptual lessons still stick with me.
