An open-source technical book teaching data structures from a hardware-aware perspective, covering cache behavior, memory hierarchy, and real benchmark data on RISC-V, ARM, and x86. It targets system software engineers working on bootloaders, firmware, drivers, and embedded systems, with bilingual English/Traditional Chinese content.

Use cases

• learn how cache misses affect linked list performance
• understand array-of-structs vs struct-of-arrays for SIMD
• choose between B-trees and hash tables in embedded systems
• learn to benchmark and profile data structures correctly
• study lock-free data structures for concurrent systems
• learn memory allocator design and fragmentation analysis
• find a hardware-aware data structures book for system programmers

When to choose

• you are a system or embedded software engineer optimizing for real hardware
• you want benchmark-driven, cache-aware explanations of data structures
• you work with RISC-V, ARM, or x86 low-level performance
• you prefer a free open-source book with exercises and solutions

When to avoid

• you need a runnable library or codebase rather than a book
• you want an introductory data structures course without hardware focus
• you need a formally reviewed, final published textbook (it is a draft)
