# Elements of Computing Systems

This repository contains my implementations and exercises from the book "The Elements of Computing Systems: Building a Modern Computer from First Principles" by Noam Nisan and Shimon Schocken, where I build a computer system from the ground up using hardware and software engineering principles. The software projects in chapters 6, 7, 8, 10, and 11 are written in Go, which I chose for its combination of simplicity, strong typing, and memory management with pointers. The solution to each chapter (if it doesn't involve completing existing files) can be found in the `_solution` directories.

## Table of Contents

- [Virtual Machine](projects/ch08/_solution)

- [High-Level Language](projects/ch09/_solution)

- [Compiler](projects/ch11/_solution)

- [Operating System](projects/ch11/_solution)

## Assembler

Implementation of a two-pass assembler for the Hack assembly language, converting assembly code into machine code.

## Virtual Machine

Development of a virtual machine that translates VM commands into Hack assembly, providing a high-level abstraction for programming.

## High-Level Language

Writing high-level programs in Jack, showcasing the full stack from high-level code to hardware execution.

## Compiler

Construction of a compiler for the Jack programming language, transforming high-level Jack code into VM commands.

## Operating System

Creation of a simple operating system that provides essential services for the Jack programming environment.

## Usage

To use the implementations, follow the instructions provided in each module's README and run the provided scripts or programs as specified.
