Preface
The software and hardware architecture of modern computer systems is very complex and is the root of all IT-related technologies. Including hardware, operating system and application software, three parts can be interpreted from different perspectives. As a little kid who graduated with a major in computer science, some of the computer textbooks I saw when I was in college were mainly about various computer knowledge from a theoretical perspective. The description methods were more abstract and obscure, and most of them did not go from the perspective of beginners. Fascinating description. Without the guidance of a good teacher, it is usually difficult to understand and master. It is really hard to be true. It is true that there is no information on the market that can clarify the basic knowledge of computers. It was not until I saw Brother Donggua’s big talk about computers that I put away this idea. Let's take a look at the masterpieces of big brothers! ! !
Daye’s masterpieces cover the following subject areas: computer architecture, computer composition principles, computer operating system principles, computer graphics, high-performance computer clusters, computing acceleration, computer storage systems, computer networks, machine learning, etc. It is divided into 12 chapters and 1600 pages in total. There is too much content to show for everyone, friends who need high-definition PDF, just like it, after following me, get it at the end of the article!

Let's take a look at the content below:
Opening: Thinking about computers
Chapter 1 introduces the design ideas of digital computers, making a key calculator, and gradually understand the underlying principles of digital computers in this process.
Chapter 2 reforms the key calculator on the basis of Chapter 1, realizes the automatic calculation according to the compiled program, and introduces the corresponding internal architecture concept of the processor.
Chapter 3 introduces the development history of electronic computers, including chip manufacturing.
Chapter 4 introduces related knowledge of pipeline, including pipeline, branch prediction, out-of-order execution, superscalar and so on.
Chapter 5 introduces the computer program architecture and understands the process of how single and multiple programs are compiled, connected, and finally run on the processor.
Chapter 6 introduces the architecture of caches and multi-processor parallel execution systems, including the principles and implementation of interconnect architecture and cache coherency architecture.
Chapter 7 introduces the basic principles of computer IO, including the three major IO systems of PCIE, USB, and SAS.
Chapter 8 introduces how computers process sound and images, including 3D rendering and graphics acceleration principle architecture and implementation.
Chapter 9 introduces the principles and architecture of massively parallel computing, supercomputers, and programmable logic devices (such as FPGAs).
Chapter 10 introduces the basic principles and architecture of modern computer operating systems, including architecture principles such as memory management, task scheduling, interrupt management, and time management.
Chapter 11 introduces modern computer forms and ecosystems, including actual computer products and ecosystems in computing, network, and storage.
Chapter 12 introduces the underlying principles and architecture implementation of machine learning and artificial intelligence.
Epilogue: Rhapsody Computer
Due to space limitations, this is probably the case. This masterpiece introduces how computers operate from scratch , from basic circuits to operating system kernels to machine learning and artificial intelligence. However, it will not be as complete as popular science books, but to peel off every layer of the computer system, until you see it through, to achieve the effect from entry to master.
For people
The masterpieces of big brothers can be said to be suitable for all IT industry practitioners to read, including computer (PC/server/mobile phone/embedded) software and hardware and cloud computing/big data/artificial intelligence and other fields of research and development, architects, project managers, products Manager, sales, pre-sales. It is also suitable for the popularization of science by the majority of high school students. In addition, undergraduates, masters, and doctoral students of computer-related majors can also get rich nutrition that is completely different from the course materials from this masterpiece.
