I read the first two chapters and I'm astonished. This book is excellent, well written, with lots of exercises that will help you understand what you read.Recommended to anyone who wants to learn how computers actually work.
This book is superb for a mathematician like me who wants to understand how computer systems work without spending a lot of time trying to understand the hardware.
A must for any computer engineer!
Great book, this is a must for all undergrad CS students!
Its good but really really expensive book!!
I have this textbook for 15-213 at CMU. Awesome book, covering topics in detail, but making sure the detail is meaningful, instead of excessive. The idea of the book is great too "A Programmer's Perspective", basically "here is how you properly exploit the design of the system" rather than getting into too much assembly code and fine-grained detail about the system itself.
Overpriced, of course, as all textbooks are. However, outstanding. A modern classic. It will be on my shelf next to Tannenbaum for many years to come.
If you are a computer engineer, you should buy this book and read it everyday. It is a masterpiece.
