Computer systems studies the design and operation of computers, from the scale of processor components to networking and distributed systems. Common topics include the following:
- ⚙️ Operating System: the underlying software running on a machine, bridging custom software and hardware.
- 🏓 Concurrency: how several threads of execution can occur at the same time, enabling more efficient computation.
- 🏛️ Computer Architecture: how processors are designed and connected with low-level software.
- 🗼 Networking: methods of communication between individual machines.
