Library

CPU Architecture and Microarchitecture

• Computer Organization and Design: The Hardware/Software Interface, David Patterson and John Hennessy
  • The main book for this course. It contains all that you need to know about the computer architecture and MIPS ISA.
  • MIPT Library: English, 3rd Edition
• Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach, John Hennessy and David Patterson
  • The classic book about state-of-the-art high-performance computing microarchitectures.
  • MIPT Library: English, 4th Edition

Digital Circuits

• Digital Design and Computer Architecture, David Harris and Sarah Harris
  • The best book for beginners about digital design, covers basics of computer architecture as well.
  • Russian, 2nd Edition
  • English, 2nd Edition
  • NB The 3rd edition of the book is less informative than the 2nd one.
• by Anatoly Larin
  • Lectures for DREC 3rd grade students by MIPT professor Anatoly Larin — covers most of the digital circuits basics.

Git

• Pro Git
  • Free and very detailed document about Git.
  • For you it is more than enough to read the chapters 1, 2 and review the beginning of chapter 3 (to be familiar with "branches").
  • Note that chapter A3 contains descriptions of all the git commands.
  • English, 2nd edition
  • Russian, 2nd edition
• Git Flight Rules
  • Good explanation what to do when things go wrong.
  • English
  • [Russian](https://github.com/k88hudson/git-flight-rules/blob/master/README_ru.md
• git-magic
  • Provides you more details about Git.

C++

• C++ manual, Herbert Schildt, 3rd edition (Rus) — this is the main book for studing C++ in this project. The complexity growths from the zero level, thus, even if you don't know C you can learn C++ using this book.

Performance Simulation

• Asim: A Performance Model Framework (Eng) is a paper about framework for CPU performance modeling, including features that we're reusing for MIPT-MIPS simulator.

MIPS

• MIPS Instruction Reference — the detailed list of MIPS instructions.
• MIPS Instruction Converter — the good tool investigate MIPS instruction encoding.
• MARS Syscalls Funstions — system calls that are implemented in MARS MIPS simulator and we re-use
