《深入理解计算机Computer Systems.A Programmer's Perspective》的PDF电子书

好书~~~This book is for programmers who want to improve their skills by learning about what is going on “under the hood” of a computer system. Our aim is to explain the important and enduring concepts underlying all computer systems, and to show you the concrete ways that these ideas affect the correctness, performance, and utility of your application programs. By studying this book, you will gain some insights that have immediate value to you as a programmer, and others that will prepare you for advanced courses in compilers, computer architecture, operating systems, and networking. The book owes its origins to an introductory course that we developed at Carnegie Mellon in the Fall of 1998, called 15-213: Introduction to Computer Systems. The course has been taught every semester since then, each time to about 150 students, mostly sophomores in computer science and computer engineering. It has become a prerequisite for all upper-level systems courses. The approach is concrete and hands-on. Because of this, we are able to couple the lectures with programming labs and assignments that are fun and exciting. The response from our students and faculty colleagues was so overwhelming that we decided that others might benefit from our approach. Hence the book. This is the Beta draft of the manuscript. The final hard-cover version will be available from the publisher in Summer, 2002, for adoption in the Fall, 2002 term.
