Features: This book consists of 6 chapters, covering all the content of the operating system course, including the traditional process management, memory management, file management, and device management. It also includes threads, construction models based on message-passing systems, log-structured file systems, security protection mechanisms, RAM, and CD-ROMs, using the Pentium CPU as an example. This approach allows readers to learn both the classic content of operating systems and the latest new technologies. This is the second edition, with the first edition published in 1987, which sparked a small revolution in operating system course teaching. Before that, most textbooks only focused on theory, while this one combines theory with specific examples (MINIX). This is highly beneficial for mastering the design and implementation of operating systems. The book is divided into two volumes. The first volume contains the main text, while the second volume includes three appendices and a companion CD-ROM.
