For Computer Systems, Computer Organization and Architecture courses in CS, EE, and ECE departments.
Few students studying computer science or computer engineering will ever have the opportunity to build a computer system. On the other hand, most students will be required to use and program computers on a near daily basis. Computer Systems: A Programmer’s Perspective introduces the important and enduring concepts that underlie computer systems by showing how these ideas affect the correctness, performance, and utility of application programs. The text's hands-on approach (including a comprehensive set of labs) helps students understand the “under-the-hood” operation of a modern computer system and prepares them for future courses in systems topics such as compilers, computer architecture, operating systems, and networking.

Free Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective
There are too many typos. It's a complete waste of money and time trying to decipher some of the formulas, where variables like x' can sometimes mixed up with x'', where there is poor spacing between different formulas, etc. There are even basic word typos ("buy" for "by").
I'm having to purchase the physical edition.
UPDATE: I bought the physical version. Wow. All those typographical errors in the Kindle version really screwed me over for the upcoming homework. Complete formulas were left out. Avoid.
Example: (|V| o) ....is actually supposed to be (|V|>>0). There are MORE significant examples than this one, where incorrect notation can make or break your understanding.

What a splendid book! I wish I had gone to CMU and take this course. This book is written by CMU professors after teaching Computer Systems course for few years. This book covers broad spectrum of topics from Operating Systems, Compilers, Computer Architecture, Assembly Level Programming, Kernel internals, Linkers, etc from a programmer's perspective (as the title aptly says).
I am searching for words to describe the usefulness of this book. In my experience, I have had hard time learning some of the topics where Operating systems, Processor and Compilers intersect. For example, Linkers and Loaders, program disassembly using reverse-engineering, virtual memory in Kernel etc. After all the hard work, I found the right book which grinds all the famous books in different areas and gives the right juice for the real programmers to taste and digest.
Those famous books are:
[1] Computer Organization and Design Second Edition : The Hardware/Software Interface by David A. Patterson, John L. Hennessy
[2] UNIX Internals: The New Frontiers by Uresh Vahalia
[3] Linux Kernel Development by Robert Love
[4] Linkers and Loaders by John R. Levine
[5] GNU Binutils (GAS, objdump, ar, nm etc) Documentation
Excellent job. I really appreciate the work and content of this book.
