The Code Monster Manual: Processors And Tangled Threads by Kevin Focke
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 16.4 MB | True EPUB
Overview: What every programmer should know about processors. We will learn: – The principles of processors, the hardware component that makes the calculations in your computer; – How processor instructions work, plus a peek at the complexity behind the function abstraction; – Why compilers exist and how they broadly work; – How to make computers faster by using multi-threading, caching, complex instructions, and pipelines; – What the trade-offs are between processor performance and security. The processor is the most important component of your computer. After all, it is the component that computes—it calculates. The goal of the book: Make computer processors more approachable & intuitive. When processor security exploits like Spectre happen, you’ll have enough knowledge to understand a brief, intermediate-level explanation. I hope you feel encouraged by someone you’ve never met. The book series is my earnest attempt to help solve the problems and frustrations I faced, with a bit of fun & charm sprinkled throughout. This is the second volume in The Code Monster Manual series.
