Systems

  • Structured Computer Organization, A S Tanenbaum, Prentice-Hall, 5th edition 2006 (An extraordinarily good book, but with more than this course covers. Recommended for those who really want to learn about computer systems). ISBN: 0-13-020435-8
If you are going to buy one book, buy one of the above.
The following books are relevant, and form useful background reading:
  • The architecture of Computer Hardware and Systems Software, I. Englander, Wiley, 3rd edition, 2003, (This is written in a very easy-to-read way, and could be very useful if you have very little background in systems) , ISBN 0-471-36897 0
  • Applied Operating Systems Concepts, A. Silberschatz, P. Galvin, G. Gagne, Wiley, first edition, 2000, ISBN:0471263141 (0-471-36508-4)
