That's got more to do with high-level programming languages (Scheme, specifically) than anything else, does it not? > /Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach/, Hennesey and Patterson The title seems familiar, but I don't recall it specifically. Now then, for my own two cents... As far as the math-y end of computer science, there is (imho) no better algorithms/theory text than Cormen, Leiserson, and Rivest's "Algorithms" (and yes, it does cover theory too). On the hardware end, Stallings's "Computer Organization and Architecture: Designing for Performance" and Tanenbaum's "Structured Computer Organization" are both pretty good. I don't think I've ever seen both halves covered competently in the same source. Oh, and it's not exactly the question asked, but for those interested in OS design, McKusick's "Design and Implementation of the 4.4 BSD Operating System" is an absolute necessity (regardless of whether or not your OS has anything to do with BSD). -- gabriel rosenkoetter gr@eclipsed.net Attachment:
