For future reference, this site is a great source of free computing / technology books: http://www.freebookcentre.net/

Computer Organization and Design by Patterson and Hennessy is a definitive and very useful textbook on general low level computer design. Revised fourth edition is available online here http://www.cse.hcmut.edu.vn/~vtphuong/KTMT/Slides/TextBookFull.pdf and fifth edition is available on underground book websites.

Thanks for the link to that ebook! Looks like a good read.

You're welcome. The book also has information on multicore systems, pipelining, cache, I/O, GPUs, and much more than I will ever be able to read. I also have a collection of many PDFs on math and computer design topics that would be useful if I ever take up an interest in low level computing again, which seems more and more unlikely. I haven't even gotten around to skimming the massive amounts of information in some of these manuals (http://www.agner.org/optimize/microarchitecture.pdf).

Well, I'm just sitting here downloading anything you link. It might come in useful someday when I get some time to read things. Any way you could share that collection of pdfs?
