Operating Systems. Internal Structure and Design Principles

No matter how computing technology evolves and what changes occur in the principles of computation - in all its applications, from smartphones and modest laptops to large mainframes, distributed systems, and the Internet of Things - there is always something unchanging: the presence of an operating system. Many users are even unaware that an operating system is not just, and not so much, beautiful windows on the screen, but rather many hundreds of thousands of lines of code, serious algorithms, a multitude of experiments, the development of new design solutions - in a word, the work of many developers.
Touching this externally invisible but extremely important world of operating systems will be made possible by the repeatedly published book by W. Stallings - a recognized authority in this field. The new, ninth edition of the book has been significantly updated and expanded. Here you will find information about both the general principles of building operating systems and the functioning of such things as networks, file systems, multitasking, distributed systems, or cloud computing, as well as specific implementations of various subsystems in the latest versions of operating systems Windows, Linux, Android, and many others.
