I just recently came around to start reading it. This is a 100 page long text which covers computer memory in detail, with focus on how software interacts with memory. From RAM to CPU caches the text moves on to tips on how we as programmers can improve our code when it comes to memory management and performance. A really good read which I suggest every programmer should check out.
