"Operating System" is the most essential program of all, without
which it becomes cumbersome to work with a computer. It is the
interface between the hardware and computer users making the
computer a pleasant device to use. "The Operating System: Concepts
and Techniques" clearly defines and explains the concepts: process
(responsibility, creation, living, and termination), thread
(responsibility, creation, living, and termination),
multiprogramming, multiprocessing, scheduling, memory management
(non-virtual and virtual), interprocess
communication/synchronization (busy-wait-based, semaphore-based,
and message-based), deadlock, and starvation. Real-life techniques
presented are based on UNIX, Linux, and contemporary Windows. The
book has briefly discussed agent-based operating systems,
macro-kernel, microkernel, extensible kernels, distributed, and
real-time operating systems. The book is for everyone who is using
a computer but is still not at ease with the way the operating
system manages programs and available resources in order to perform
requests correctly and speedily. High school and university
students will benefit the most, as they are the ones who turn to
computers for all sorts of activities, including email, Internet,
chat, education, programming, research, playing games etc. It is
especially beneficial for university students of Information
Technology, Computer Science and Engineering. Compared to other
university textbooks on similar subjects, this book is downsized by
eliminating lengthy discussions on subjects that only have
historical value.
