[share_ebook] Operating Systems- Design and Implementation, Second Edition

When the first edition of this now classic best-seller appeared in 1987, it took the world by storm. Within three months, MINIX had its own USENET newsgroup, with over 40,000 subscribers. Since 1987, MINIX has evolved and the book has been heavily revised to reflect the new system and new ideas in operating system design. In addition, the second edition of the book now contains the full MINIX system, including all the source code, on a CD-ROM that is included with every book. MINIX can also be obtained for free over the Internet by clicking here . 

Award-winning educator and researcher Andrew S. Tanenbaum has teamed up with experienced educator Albert S. Woodhull to explain how operating systems work inside -from the low-level device interrupts up through file systems and security, and everything in between. 

The authors clearly present:

• Processes, interprocess communication, classical IPC problems, scheduling 
  
• Input/Output, both hardware aspects and software aspects 
  
• Deadlocks, and how they can be prevented 
  
• Memory management, including many aspects of virtual memory systems 
  
• File systems and security 
  
• For each topic above, the principles are illustrated in detail using MINIX
