About this title

Synopsis:

The book is divided into five parts. The first chapters explore the scope of the subject and the first part of the book deals with the systems programming backgrounds providing an overview of system software. It then delves into machine structures and library structures. The second part of the book deals with low level translators describing in detail topics such machine and mnemonic languages, assembly languages, macro languages, macro programming, assemblers linkers, loaders, and object code translators. The third and fourth parts of the book deal with compilers and operating systems respectively. The last part of this book deals with different system development tools. Components such as editors and debuggers are discussed in detail in this section along with a chapter on system administration.

Programming examples and algorithms have been included in the chapters wherever applicable. Conceptual and analytical chapter-end exercises have been included which judges the students' understanding of the concepts learnt in the chapter. Appendices at the end of the book comprise important instruction sets and conversion tables for ready reference.
