Operating Systems In Depth: Design and Programming 1st Edition

by Thomas W. Doeppner (Author)
4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 25 ratings
See all formats and editions
This book is designed for a one-semester operating-systems course for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students. Prerequisites for the course generally include an introductory course on computer architecture and an advanced programming course.

The goal of this book is to bring together and explain current practice in operating systems. This includes much of what is traditionally covered in operating-system textbooks: concurrency, scheduling, linking and loading, storage management (both real and virtual), file systems, and security. However, the book also covers issues that come up every day in operating-systems design and implementation but are not often taught in undergraduate courses. For example, the text includes:

  • Deferred work, which includes deferred and asynchronous procedure calls in Windows, tasklets in Linux, and interrupt threads in Solaris.
  • The intricacies of thread switching, on both uniprocessor and multiprocessor systems.
  • Modern file systems, such as ZFS and WAFL.
  • Distributed file systems, including CIFS and NFS version 4.

The book and its accompanying significant programming projects make students come to grips with current operating systems and their major operating-system components and to attain an intimate understanding of how they work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful, vast and clear

i have been readin this book for a few weeks now. i have been working in the file system for storage companies for almost a decade now. with improvements in the os landscape, i thought of refreshing my ideas. i have also discussed some of the topics which i read with some of my colleagues who are also pretty senior to myself. in general, i think the books covers a lot of detail, is well explained and up-to-date with the industry trends (to an extent). It builds a good platform to drive a concept or solution and then clearly explains the details. And i have been doing the exercise problems as well. Lot of the exercise problems are from the practical applications in the industry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great OS book for a grad intro course to OSs

A very nice, clear, and concise book on operating systems (mostly Linux, and some Windows). I liked its conciseness. It's very well formatted too. Some books intimidate you, but this one looks very friendly, despite the complexity of the material presented.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a beginner friendly book
Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2020

As other reviewers mentioned, maybe it is a good text book for graduate level or more advanced operating systems class, but it is a terrible book for someone new to the subject. I had to use the textbook for what is basically an introduction to operating systems class and the lectures were based on this book too, which was a terrible experience to say the least. The author seems to assume that you have some fundamental understanding of the subject since he doesn't thoroughly explain a lot of terminologies which are repeatedly mentioned and seem central to understanding important concepts.
