About this title

Synopsis

Operating Systems: A Modern Perspective brings a balanced approach to the study of operating systems by combining a careful examination of theoretical issues with real-world, hands-on problems and examples. Throughout the text, discussions of theory are enhanced with detailed code and algorithmic examples to allow students to see the theory as it has been implemented in modern operating systems.

From the Back Cover

In addition to covering operating system fundamentals the author, Gary Nutt, considers issues of performance and discusses how various parts of the system are related to real-world demand and hardware constraints. The text also includes coverage of modern topics such as concurrency, distributed systems, and networking. Examples from UNIX and Linux give students an opportunity to examine and learn from the source code of actual commercial operating systems.

Features:

Reinforces and reviews the important concepts students need to know from computer organization and architecture courses.

Highlights performance issues as a fundamental factor affecting how operating systems are designed.

Includes implementation examples drawn from the source code of commercial operating systems like Linux and a case study on Windows NT.

Utilizes Linux source code to provide hands-on exercises modifying and constructing components of actual systems.

Provides an author-maintained World Wide Web page with links to current OS technical material and references.

Offers additional instructional resources to qualified instructors through Addison-Wesley.
