Course Text
6.033 uses Saltzer and Kaashoek's Principles
of Computer System Design: An Introduction (Morgan Kaufmann
2009). The text supplements the
lectures and recitations; it should be your first resource when you
are confused by a lecture topic, or want more information.
If you notice errors of any kind in the 6.033 text, from minor
typos to major blunders, please report them by e-mail
to saltzer@mit.edu
and kaashoek@mit.edu.
You can find PDFs with corrections to the printed and online
textbook here.
A more up to date version of the Part II errata is here.
We assume that you have taken 6.02 and have the necessary

need a refresher, as background please read chapters 15-19 of the 6.02
book, which we've posted here.
