    A book length version of content of this quality would be an awesome coffee table book!

    I always wondered why L1 caches couldn't just be bigger. L1 caches need to be close to clock speed of the core and bigger caches means increased latency because the bottleneck is length of the bit line and number of word lines which increases with capacity.

    For those interested in learning about the inner workings of computers, I also recommend the book Code by Charles Petzold.

      "from nand to tetris" is another one... although it's subjects are different and not smooth like Code.

      It is interesting to see how many programmers (including me) get graduated without learning this. Although the reason is known.

    More than anything, I would love to know the software this is built in.

    This is a goregous way of presenting a book, and what looks like subscriber only chapter previews.
