"Operating Systems Concepts" is a comprehensive book on operating system principles and design. It covers fundamental concepts as well as detailed case studies.
The book provides an in-depth look into the workings of modern operating systems, covering both theoretical and practical aspects. Topics include process management, memory management, file systems, and more.
- Introduction: Basic concepts of operating systems.
- System Structures: Operating system services, system calls, and system structure.
- Processes: Process concept, scheduling, operations, and inter-process communication.
- Threads: Multi-threading models, thread scheduling.
- Process Synchronization: Critical-section problem, synchronization tools, and techniques.
- Deadlocks: Deadlock characterization, methods for handling deadlocks, deadlock prevention.
- Memory Management: Basic concepts, swapping, contiguous memory allocation.
- Virtual Memory: Demand paging, process creation, page replacement.
- File-System Interface: File concept, access methods, directory structure.
- File-System Implementation: Allocation methods, free-space management.
- Mass-Storage Structure: Disk structure, disk scheduling, disk management.
- I/O Systems: I/O hardware, application I/O interface, kernel I/O subsystem.
- Protection and Security: Goals of protection, domain of protection, security problem.
"Operating Systems Concepts" is an essential text for students and professionals interested in understanding the internal workings and design principles of operating systems.
