I agree that it may not be the most readable format. So far, the best-structured piece on similar topics I’ve seen is Algorithmica: <https://en.algorithmica.org

I agree that it may not be the most readable format. So far, the best-structured piece on similar topics I’ve seen is Algorithmica: <https://en.algorithmica.org/hpc https://en.algorithmica.org/hpc>. I am sure it overlaps in terms of topics, maybe even some examples, but the homepage suggests that the book is about 500 pages long. I generally don’t have a time budget to read that much, and in most cases, I want to play with the code more than read the text, especially when some new IO_uring feature, a metaprogramming tool, or an Assembly instruction comes out. Another observation is that people don’t like to read into 5000-word essays on each topic. At best, those become training materials for the next LLMs and will affect future code only indirectly… I’m all ears for alternative formats if you have recommendations, as I generally reimplement such projects every couple of years ;)
