Computer Hardware

The first-ever book aimed at introducing operating system development to absolute beginners. The topics begin with programming in C and programming in assembly, and progress toward practical OS development.The book uses only simple methods, so it covers only a few essential topics in C and assembly programming, making it suitable for beginners.

We'll be writing kernels in Rust and seeing how they match up with their C++ equivalents. If you feed a GPU properly, you'll see bandwidth quadruple from just one changed subscript. It'll get you working with thousands of threads, pricing a financial option based on an exact formula, and shipping an inference pipeline that outruns its Python equivalent for reasons you can name.

Unlock the full power of modern GPU programming with Mastering the Vulkan API. This practical guide helps intermediate C++ developers build high-performance graphics and compute applications through clear explanations, hands-on examples, and production-inspired best practices.

Haskell for FPGA Hardware Design: Use abstractions like monads and lenses to implement 1970's retro-computing devices like arcade machines and home computers.

Even if you're a total newbie to the world of GPUs, this book will take you from the basics of CPUs to the current world of GPU programming. All you need is some Python experience and a willingness to explore and try the techniques it offers.This book will walk you through the basics of GPU architectures, show you hands-on parallel programming techniques, and give you the know-how to confidently speed up real workloads in data processing, analytics, and engineering.

Build your own IoT projects including, environmental monitors that alert in real time, QR-code generators on tiny screens, ethical jamming demonstrations for protocol study, and alarm clocks that buzz and send notifications at the right moment.

This reference volume consists of revised, edited, cross-referenced, and thematically organized articles from the Software Diagnostics and Observability Institute and the Software Diagnostics Library (former Crash Dump Analysis blog) about software diagnostics, root cause analysis, debugging, crash and hang dump analysis, and software trace and log analysis written from 15 April 2024 to 14 November 2025.

Bring the browser and the physical world together. Learn how to build secure, reliable JavaScript and TypeScript apps that communicate directly with real hardware. From serial terminals and sensor dashboards to test stations and device tools, this hands-on guide takes you from first connection to production-ready systems.

Ready to turn Verilog code into real hardware? FPGA Programming with Verilog takes you from digital logic basics to complete FPGA designs, with practical examples, thorough testbenches and real-world projects covering communications, video, signal processing and system-on-chip design.

SIMD can make software dramatically faster, but getting it right takes more than knowing a few intrinsics. This book shows you how vectorization really works, how to avoid costly mistakes and how to turn ordinary code into fast, production-ready software with techniques you can use again and again.

Learn CUDA programming from the ground up by understanding how GPUs really execute code. This book shows you how to write efficient kernels, optimize performance, and build high-performance applications for AI, scientific computing, image processing, and other demanding workloads on modern NVIDIA GPUs, including Blackwell.
