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-ROM disks, with the Pentium CPU as an example. This way, students can learn both the classic content of operating systems and the latest technologies. This is the second edition of the book. The first edition, published in 1987, sparked a small revolution in the teaching of operating system courses. Before that, most textbooks only focused on theory, while this one combined theory with concrete examples (MINIX). This approach greatly benefits the understanding of 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.
