前言
OBJECTIVES
This book is about the concepts, structure, and mechanisms of operating systems. Its purpose is to present, as clearly and completely as possible, the nature and characteristics of modernday operating systems. .
This task is challenging for several reasons. First, there is a tremendous range and variety of computer systems for which operating systems are designed.These include single-user workstations and personal computers, medium-sized shared systems, large mainframe and supercomputers, and specialized machines such as real-time systems. The variety is not just in the capacity and speed of machines, but in applications and system support requirements. Second, the rapid pace of change that has always characterized computer systems continues with no letup. A number of key areas in operating system design are of recent origin, and research into these and other new areas continues.
In spite of this variety and pace of change, certain fundamental concepts apply consistently throughout.To be sure, the application of these concepts depends on the current state of technology and the particular application requirements.The intent of this book is to provide a thorough discussion of the fundamentals of operating system design and to relate these to contemporary design issues and to current directions in the development of operating systems.
EXAMPLE SYSTEMS
This text is intended to acquaint the reader with the design principles and implementation issues of contemporary operating systems. Accordingly, a purely conceptual or theoretical treatment would be inadequate.To illustrate the concepts and to tie them to real-world design choices that must be made, three operating systems have been chosen as running examples:
·Windows XP and Windows 2003: A multitasking operating system for personal computers, workstations, and servers. As a new operating system, it incorporates in a clean fashion many of the latest developments in operating system technology. In addition, Windows is one of the first important commercial operating systems to rely heavily on object-oriented design principles.This book covers the technology used in the most recent versions of Windows, XP for workstations and PCs, and 2003 for servers.
·UNIX: A multiuser operating system, originally intended for minicomputers, but implemented on a wide range of machines from powerful microcomputers to supercomputers. Two flavors of UNIX are included. UNIX SVR4 is a widely used system that incorporates many state-of-the-art features. Solaris is the most widely used commercial version of UNIX. Solaris includes multithreading and other features not found in SVR4 and most other UNIX variants.
·Linux: An open-source version of UNIX that is now widely used.
These systems were chosen because of their relevance and representativeness.The discussion of the example systems is distributed throughout the text rather than assembled as a single chapter or appendix. Thus, during the discussion of concurrency, the concurrency mechanisms of each example system are described, and the motivation for the individual design choices is discussed.With this approach, the design concepts discussed in a given chapter are immediately reinforced with real-world examples.
INTENDED AUDIENCE
The book is intended for both an academic and a professional audience.As a textbook, it is intended as a one-semester undergraduate course in operating systems for computer science, computer engineering, and electrical engineering majors. It covers the topics recommended in Computer Curricula 2001, from the Joint Task Force on Computing Curricula of the IEEE Computer Society and the ACM, for the Undergraduate Program in Computer Science.The book also covers the topics recommended in the Guidelines for Associate-Degree Curricula in Computer Science 2002, also from the Joint Task Force on Computing Curricula of the IEEE Computer Society and the ACM. The book also serves as a basic reference volume and is suitable for self-study.
PLAN OF THE TEXT
The book is divided into five parts (see Chapter 0 for an overview):
·Background
·Processes
·Memory
·Scheduling
·Input/Output and files
The book includes a number of pedagogic features, including the use of numerous figures and tables to clarify the discussion. Each chapter includes a list of key words, review questions, problems, suggestions for further reading, and pointers to relevant Web sites. In addition, a test bank is available to instructors. ..
