Computer Architecture & OS: Resources

How this started

I started with "let me quickly learn concurrency" and somehow ended up reading about caches, TLBs, virtual memory, scheduling.

OS resources I use

  • OSTEP (Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces) - my primary OS resource right now
  • Operating System Concepts (Silberschatz, Galvin, Gagne)
  • Operating Systems: Principles and Practice (all volumes)
  • OS Vol1 - Kernels and Processes
  • OS Vol2 - Concurrency
  • OS Vol3 - Memory Management
  • OS Vol4 - Persistence
  • Operating Systems - Prof Sr. Sarangi
  • Core Dumped - my favorite OS YouTube channel; the visualizations are awesome

Architecture and systems references

  • Computer Architecture (Hennessy and Patterson)
  • Computer Organization and Design (P & H)
  • Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective (3rd edition)
  • Inside the Machine - Jon Stokes
  • A Primer on Memory Consistency and Cache Coherence
  • Arch by IITD notes
  • Memory hierarchy notes (Memory.pdf style resources)
  • IIT Delhi architecture notes and memory hierarchy notes
