A personal list of books that I have used and I don’t want to forget about :)
Linux
- The Linux Programming Interface. Michael Kerrisk
C
- Modern C. Jens Gunstedt
- Effective C. Robert C. Seacord
Compilers
- SSA-based Compiler Design. Fabrice Rastello, Florent Bouchez Tichadou. Springer
Computer Architecture
Synthesis Lectures on Computer Architecture is generally a good place to start if a computer architecture-related topic interests you.
- Processor Microarchitecture an Implementation Perspective
- A Primer on Memory Consistency and Cache Coherence
- Is Parallel Programming Hard, And If So, What Can You Do About It?. Software-oriented but full of examples and discussion. Simply superb.
- Digital Design and Computer Architecture. Harris and Harris
Both advanced books are really good. They are most benefited from when the reader has a solid base, but they can also be used to get it.
I have a pretty negative opinions towards the vast majority of computer architecture books, particularly the introductory ones. In my opinion, Harris & Harris’s book is the best introductory text by far.
