- Summary
- "The most successful operating systems book is now in its fourth edition. This popular book enhances its reputation for clear coverage of the fundamental concepts which are the foundation of operating systems. Operating System Concepts has been revised to include new and updated information, examples, diagrams and an expanded bibliography." "The following are new to this edition: early coverage of light-weight processes and threads; expanded coverage of Memory Management, including modern computer architectures; enhanced realistic discussion of file system design, implementation, and secondary storage management; improved coverage of real time and multiprocessor systems; new coverage of networking as it relates to operating systems; expanded and up-to-date coverage of UNIX and the Mach operating systems; and use of common operating systems, including Sun Solaris 2, MS-DOS, OS/2, Macintosh, in each chapter to illustrate concepts and show performance examples." "This edition retains the same high-quality of previous editions, but has expanded coverage of protection and security, and added material on atomic transactions and the two-phase commit protocol. This book is perfect for students of operating systems and for practitioners, such as system programmers, who need an understanding of the design of operating systems and enjoy having examples and projects to work with."--Jacket.
