In the following sections, we will briefly look at a few of the highlights. Operating systems have been evolving through the years. Depending on who is doing the talking, you might hear mostly about one function or the other. Part of the problem is that operating systems perform two essentially unrelated functions: providing application programmers (and application programs, naturally) a clean abstract set of resources instead of the messy hardware ones and managing these hardware resources. It is hard to pin down what an operating system is other than saying it is the software that runs in kernel mode-and even that is not always true. The 5th Edition keeps pace with modern OS with a new chapter on Windows 11, new security coverage, an emphasis on flash-based solid-state drives, and more. Tanenbaum also provides information on current research based on his experience as an operating systems researcher. Case studies explore popular OS and provide real-world context. In-depth topic coverage includes processes, threads, memory management, file systems, I/O, deadlocks, interface design, multimedia, performance tradeoffs, and trends in OS design.
Author Andy Tanenbaum’s clear and entertaining writing style outlines the concepts every OS designer needs to master. Download Modern Operating Systems, 5th edition, in PDF format, Modern Operating Systems incorporate the latest developments and technologies in operating systems (OS) technologies.
