Features: This book is divided into two parts. The first part thoroughly covers traditional operating system knowledge, including processes, memory management, file systems, I/O device management, deadlock, and more. The second part primarily introduces distributed operating systems, covering topics such as hierarchical protocols, remote procedure calls, mutual exclusion operations, and distributed file systems. To deepen the understanding of concepts, the book also provides detailed introductions to four operating systems, including two traditional systems—UNIX and MS-DOS—as well as two distributed systems—Amoeba and Mach. Additionally, it briefly introduces other systems such as NFS, AFS, and ISIS. The book is well-structured, rich in content, and clearly presented, making it an invaluable textbook for university students in computer science and related fields. It is also an excellent reference for professionals working in computer management, development, system analysis, and other related careers.
