Hmm. No one has mentioned Elements of Computing Systems: Building a Modern Computer from First Principles by Nissan and Schocken (which is absolutely superb).

- mattgreenrocks 12y agoGreat suggestion. I flipped through Computer Architecture, A Quantitative Approach (http://www.amazon.com/Computer-Architecture-Fifth-Quantitative-Approach/dp/012383872X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1399484350&sr=1-1&keywords=computer+architecture http://www.amazon.com/Computer-Architecture-Fifth-Quantitati...) at the bookstore the other day and it looked interesting, but that's all I could gather in the short time I had.
- shadowfox 12y agoThis is a standard textbook on computer architecture across many universities in the US (and if my students are right, outside it as well). So it might be worth a read. If this is absolutely the first time you are looking at architecture, http://www.amazon.com/Computer-Organization-Design-Fifth-Architecture/dp/0124077269/ http://www.amazon.com/Computer-Organization-Design-Fifth-Arc... by the same authors might be a easier entry point.
- brudgers 12y agoThanks, now I remember seeing nand2tetris [book companion site] on HN. http://www.nand2tetris.org/ http://www.nand2tetris.org/ It's been reposted since.
