| Summary: | Operating systems are an essential part of any computer system. Similarly, a
course on operating systems is an essential part of any computer science education.
This field is undergoing rapid change, as computers are now prevalent
in virtually every arena of day-to-day life—from embedded devices in automobiles
through the most sophisticated planning tools for governments and
multinational firms. Yet the fundamental concepts remain fairly clear, and it is
on these that we base this book.
We wrote this book as a text for an introductory course in operating systems
at the junior or senior undergraduate level or at the first-year graduate
level. We hope that practitioners will also find it useful. It provides a clear
description of the concepts that underlie operating systems. As prerequisites,
we assume that the reader is familiar with basic data structures, computer
organization, and a high-level language, such as C or Java. The hardware topics
required for an understanding of operating systems are covered in Chapter 1.
In that chapter,we also include an overview of the fundamental data structures
that are prevalent in most operating systems. For code examples, we use predominantly
C, as well as a significant amount of Java, but the reader can still
understand the algorithms without a thorough knowledge of these languages |
