Abstract:
"The revision of this book incorporates the latest developments in operating systems technologies. Hundreds of pages of new content have been added, and older material has been removed. This book covers both the principles and practice of modern operating systems, with an emphasis on Linux, Windows Vista, and embedded, real-time, and multimedia systems." "Andrew S. Tanenbaum brings his clear and entertaining style to the "big picture" concepts every OS designer needs to master. Drawing on his long experience as designer or co-designer of three operating systems, he shares deep knowledge and practical detail that few other books can match. Among the many topics Tanenbaum covers in depth: processes, threads, memory management, file systems, VO, deadlocks, interface design, multimedia, performance tradeoffs, and the newest trends in operating system design."--Jacket.
