Editorial Reviews

An operating systems text blending a theoretical foundation of operating systems design with real-world applications. Explains key mechanisms of modern operating systems, types of design tradeoffs and decisions involved in system design, and the context within which the operating system functions. Running examples of Windows NT, UNIX SVR4, and Solaris 2.x illustrate concepts and tie them to real-world design choices. Includes chapter problems. Useful as a text for a one- semester undergraduate course in operating systems for computer science, computer engineering, and electrical engineering majors. This third edition incorporates changes in the field in the past three years, with expanded material on multithreading, microkernals, clusters, and object-oriented design. This edition also provides information on three software packages that can serve as frameworks for student projects. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
