The long anticipated book by the two IBM 360 architects who went toĪcademia (Blaauw and Brooks) has been published. That contains lots of photos of classic machines from the computer history Online, including a talk on Seymour Cray's contributions to computing Bell has also put the slides of his recent presentations This is very useful since Bell and NewellĪnd Siewiorek, Bell, and Newell are all very valuable references thatĪre out of print.
Gordon Bell has placed complete pdf copies of his books online Material already in the book is not duplicated here. References on the technology, implementation, and economics of classic
