Over the past two decades, there has been a huge amount of innovation in both the principles and practice of operating systems Over the same period, the core ideas in a modern operating system — protection, concurrency, virtualization, resource allocation, and reliable storage — have become widely applied throughout computer science. Whether you get a job at Facebook, Google, Microsoft, or any other leading-edge technology company, it is impossible to build resilient, secure, and flexible computer systems without the ability to apply operating systems concepts in a variety of settings.This book examines the both the principles and practice of modern operating systems, taking important, high-level concepts all the way down to the level of working code. Because operating systems concepts are among the most difficult in computer science, this top to bottom approach is the only way to really understand and master this important material.Operating Systems: Principles and Practice is a textbook for a first course in undergraduate operating systems. In use at dozens of top tier universities, and written by two leading operating systems researchers with decades of experience successfully teaching complex topics to thousands of students, this textbook provides:
A path for students to understand high level concepts all the way down to working code;
Extensive worked examples integrated throughout the text provide students concrete guidance for completing homework assignments;
A focus on up-to-date industry technologies and practice.The e-book version of Operating Systems: Principles and Practice is broken into 4 volumes:
Volume 1: Kernels and Processes
Volume 2: Concurrency
Volume 3: Memory Management
Volume 4: Persistent StorageThis is Volume 4: Persistent Storage
In this volume, we explain the technologies underlying modern extent-based, journaling, and versioning file systems.Формат книги совместим с iPAD и Amazon Kindle, на PC открывается многими бесплатными ридерами, например Cool Reader (EPUB), Calibre (EPUB, MOBI, AZW3), Adobe Digital Editions (EPUB), FBReader (EPUB, MOBI, AZW3).
