An actually useful textbook

June 1, 2016

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I got this textbook as a requirement for my Computer Systems course at the University of Utah. I found this textbook actually quite useful in its ability to communicate many difficult concepts including assembly. It also bridges many gaps between the hardware and software of computers.

Only downside, like every other textbook, is the cost of course. Always explore used options before getting a new edition.

Don't Buy this version. Many errors and blank pages.

August 20, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book actually says: "This edition is manufactured in India and is authorized fro sale only in India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka and the Maldives. Circulation of this edition outside of these territories is UNAUTHORIZED."
The text is riddled with known errors. Many of the same problems are just wrong. And there were a number of completely blank (missing text) pages.

I had high hopes for this but the "3rd Edition Global Edition" - which is on the title page not the cover. Is just a bad edition. This was the $20 paperback edition. Funny, I knew something was fishy with this price. Returned the book.

DO NOT BUY THE INTERNATIONAL EDITION! Buy the North American edition instead. It's worth the $$

August 22, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

While the *content* of the international edition is the same as the North American edition, Pearson (for whatever reason) decided to replace all of the chapter Practice Problems with versions different than the authors' original practice problems. And they did a HORRIBLE job of it.

Half of the time the solutions to the problems are simply incorrect, or the problem itself is outrageously incorrect to begin with. The other half of the time the solution is for a practice problem that was not the one included in the book.

From the authors' website:

"Note on the Global Edition: Unfortunately, the publisher arranged for the generation of a different set of practice and homework problems in the global edition. The person doing this didn't do a very good job, and so these problems and their solutions have many errors. We have not created an errata for this edition."

If you buy the international edition, expect to spend a lot of time referencing the content of the book to make sense out of the practice problems and solutions. The homework problems, however, seem to be mostly the same problems as the 2nd edition of the book, with some additional homework problems.

As for the *content* of the book itself, I found the book to be very thoroughly researched and well written. You will learn a lot from this book!

One of the best book I have read in my life

February 24, 2014

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I took this 15213 course at Carnegie Mellon University last year. This book was one of the required reading material, (the other one was "C Programming Language"). We were lucky enough to have Randal E. Bryant and David R. O'Hallaron as instructors that semester.

The book covers almost every fundamental concepts in OS. It does contain a significant amount of information, but the way it's written does not confuse readers nor make them sleepy as some brick textbooks do. Actually it is pretty well written and organized so readers can follow through without much trouble (might need clarification and guidance once in a while). The practice questions after each chapter is excellent material to get a favor of how each little piece works. Lab assignments from the book aim to help readers assembly these pieces into a whole. Labs do require certain degree of time and effort, especially for beginners.

Lectures from two authors went extremely well with the book too. I am still feeling glad today that I took the course, which lead me to this book and two excellent instructors.

Really an excellent, inspired book

January 3, 2014

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This textbook shares an infectious fascination with computing.

It shifts elegantly from theory to implementation and back, giving statistics and industry examples to contextualize what it describes. The historical anecdotes and examples enrich what's been covered and are never distracting. I walk away from each chapter with a permanent, thorough understanding of something that I had always taken for granted, and an ability to utilize this knowledge in future projects.

The images and graphs are all colorful and useful, and the layout is very attractive.

This is definitely the best textbook I've ever owned, I expect my copy to be sitting dogeared above my desk ten years from now.

Used this book when completing my bachelor's. Not a page turner but a useful book.

January 3, 2018

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I'm a computer science graduate and this book is somewhat helpful, but not a pleasure to read. This is the standard book that many universities use, but you definitely need the assistance of a professor to understand much of the material. You can read this on your own, but it's a very hard subject.

A pleasant surprise

December 20, 2011

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

As the subject states i was pleasantly surprised by this book it is a wealth of information. I used it for a "computer organization" class yeah that one with half C half assembly. Chapter 3 was really important if you have never done any reverse engineering or assembly its really helpful. I will say though the author does sort of leave the reader in the dark at some points when it comes to the reverse engineering. Its never talked about and there are compiler optimization that make going from assembly to the C-code damn near impossible. I feel for an introductory text these practice problems should be omitted or at least talk about why its only possible to reverse engineer a "comparable" C program from assembly not the "actual" C program this is something that should have been talked about. But other than having to ask my teacher a few ?'s about those problems its a wealth of information. The chapter of optimizing your code(haven't read it yet) is really intriguing to me as a programmer. Basically this book is worth the investment I never buy comp-sci books because they are usually a waste $100 and are rarely looked at(since everything is on the web) but this book is the exception. This will be one book that I DON'T sell back.
