Download or read book Introduction to Operating Systems written by William A. Shay and published by Prentice Hall. This book was released on 1993 with total page 634 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text aims to provide a firm foundation in the principles and concepts of operating systems design and discuss major issues, as well as to show how several operating systems have implemented these concepts. It covers all major topics of operating systems, including memory management, I/O processing, concurrent processing, auxiliary storage management, and scheduling. There is also a chapter on queuing theory and a chapter with four case studies: MS-DOS, UNIX, VMS, and MVS. Additional case studies are presented at the end of each chapter.

This book was released on 2007-06-08 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an introduction to the design and implementation of operating systems using OSP 2, the next generation of the highly popular OSP courseware for undergraduate operating system courses. Coverage details process and thread management; memory, resource and I/0 device management; and interprocess communication. The book allows students to practice these skills in a realistic operating systems programming environment. An Instructors Manual details how to use the OSP Project Generator and sample assignments. Even in one semester, students can learn a host of issues in operating system design.

This book was released on 2019-12 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to provide a practical introduction to the foundations of modern operating systems, with a particular focus on GNU/Linux and the Arm platform. The unique perspective of the authors is that they explain operating systems theory and concepts but also ground them in practical use through illustrative examples.

Download or read book Fundamentals of Operating Systems written by LISTER and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An operating system is probably the most important part of the body of soft ware which goes with any modern computer system. I ts importance is reflected in the large amount of manpower usually invested in its construction, and in the mystique by which it is often surrounded. To the non-expert the design and construction of operating systems has often appeared an activity impenetrable to those who do not practise it. I hope this book will go some way toward dispelling the mystique, and encourage a greater general understanding of the principles on which operating systems are constructed. The material in the book is based on a course of lectures I have given for the past few years to undergraduate students of computer science. The book is therefore a suitable introduction to operating systems for students who have a basic grounding in computer science, or for people who have worked with computers for some time. Ideally the reader should have a knowledge of prorramming and be familiar with general machine architecture, common data structures such as lists and trees, and the functions of system software such as compilers, loaders, and editors. I t will also be helpful if he has had some experience of using a large operating system, seeing it, as it were, from the out side.
