Unix Systems for Modern Architectures: Symmetric Multiprocessing and Caching for Kernel Programmers (Addison-Wesley Professional Computing Series)

Any UNIX programmer using the latest workstations or super minicomputers from vendors such as Sun, Silicon Graphics (SGI), AT&T, Amdahl, IBM, Apple, Compaq, Mentor Graphics, and Thinking Machines needs this book to optimize his/her job performance. This book teaches how these architectures operate using clear, comprehensible examples to explain the concepts, and provides a good reference for people already familiar with the basic concepts.

Curt Schimmel is an Operating System Architect who has ported and enhanced the UNIX kernel for a wide variety of systems, ranging from microprocessors to multiprocessor supercomputers, and has been involved in the design of new hardware systems to efficiently support the UNIX environment. A former member of AT&T Bell Laboratories' UNIX development team, he is now with Silicon Graphics, Inc., an industry leader in high performance multiprocessor UNIX systems.
