Welcome to the blog of a Stanford CS major. Please give me feedback on the new design, and ideas on what to call this blog .
I am currently designing a President's Scholar Research Project called A Reading Approach to Operating Systems. The project will mainly consist of reading the most influential and relevant books on Operating Systems and related topics and then writing a paper or giving a presentation about what I learnt. The books below are those that I have currently selected. If any of you have other suggestions or think that I should remove one of those books, please comment. Thanks for the input.
Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach - John L. Hennessy
Computer Organization and Design Second Edition : The Hardware/Software Interface - David Patterson, John Hennessy
Computer Networks: A Systems Approach - Larry Peterson, Bruce Davie
