Providing a comprehensive introduction to operating systems, this book emphasizes the fundamentals of the key mechanisms of modern operating systems, and the types of design tradeoffs and decisions involved in operating system design. It presents recent developments in operating system design, and uses three running examples of operating systems to illustrate the material--Windows NT, UNIX, and IBM MVS. --This text refers to the hardcover edition of of this title From the Back Cover
KEY BENEFIT: Blending up-to-date theory with modern applications, this book offers a comprehensive treatment of operating systems with an emphasis on internals and design issues. KEY TOPICS: The use of Windows NT, UNIX SVR4, and Solaris 2.x as running case studies through the book motivates the material and enhances understanding. Expanded treatment of multithreading and object-oriented design, together with new coverage of microkernels, SMP, and clusters. Provides a solid understanding of the key mechanisms of operating systems and the types of design trade-offs and decisions. A broad and unified treatment of distributed operating systems thoroughly covers this area of increasing importance, including process and thread migration, distributed file systems, mutual exclusion and deadlock, and clusters.
