内容简介

This updated edition of Operating Systems, 2e brings this edition up-to-date in regards to the latest operating systems. It features material on the latest version of Windows 2000 and Linux, and also provides updated lab exercises for readers looking for more hands-on Windows work. Gary Nutt provides an understanding of contemporary operating system practice through a complete discussion of operating system principles, supplemented with code, algorithms, implementation issues, and lab exercises. The bookOs flexible arrangement, which separates principles from practice, allows professors to choose the appropriate breadth and depth of each topic presentation. Operating Systems enhances the focus on principles and practice with the Windows 2000 examples, a design that facilitates reading of the text and designates examples as Linux/UNIX or Windows, and a Lab Exercises feature which allows readers to work extended hands-on problems. Operating Systems also covers modern topics such as threads, concurrency, and distributed systems. It addresses both quantitative and qualitative theory, but is not overly mathematically sophisticated.
