Massive upvote, the standard text book for Computer Organization is Patterson and Hennesy's "Computer Organization and Design: The Hardware/Software Interface"

Its a lovely book, but its hard to get hold of MIPS processors these days. Hopefully this creates a new generation of devs which can tinker with real hardware and are armed with proper education behind how it all works.

Super happy, wish I had this during mys schooling. :)



There are now ARMv8 and RISC-V editions of COAD. I’m sort of waiting for the second edition of the ARMv8 version. However at this point I prefer COAD to CAAQA which is bloated with IMHO non CA stuff.
