On top of this foundation, the author presents clear practical advice to help you create faster, cleaner code. You learn to avoid the pitfalls associated with Windows DLLs, take advantage of the space-saving, performance-improving techniques supported by many modern linkers, make the best use of the UNIX ELF library scheme, and much more. If youre serious about programming, youll devour this unique guide to one of the fields least understood topics. Linkers & Loaders is also an ideal supplementary text for compiler and operating systems courses.

Operating systems are large and complex, and yet must function with near-absolute reliability — that’s why they're a class unto themselves in the field of software development.Показать полностьюOperating systems are large and complex, and yet must function with near-absolute reliability — that’s why they're a class unto themselves in the field of software development. Since its first release 20 years ago, “the dinosaur book” — Operating System Concepts by Abraham Silberschatz, Peter Baer Galvin, and Greg Gagne — has been a valuable reference for designers and implementers of operating systems. The newly released sixth edition of this book maintains the volume’s authority with new sections on thread management, distributed processes, and the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). There’s also information on the workings of the latest crop of operating systems, including Microsoft Windows 2000, Linux, FreeBSD, and compact operating systems for handheld devices. This book is concerned with the design of operating systems, which is to say it enumerates the problems that pop up in the creation of efficient systems and explores alternative ways of dealing with them, detailing the advantages and shortcomings of each. For example, in their chapter on scheduling CPU activity, the authors explain several algorithms (first-come, first-served, and round-robin scheduling, among others) for allocating the capacity of single and multiple processors among jobs. They highlight the relative advantages of each, and explain how several real-life operating systems solve the problem. They then present the reader with exercises (this book is essentially a university textbook) that inspire thought and discussion.

Authors Abraham Silberschatz and Peter Galvin discuss key concepts that are applicable to a variety of systems. They also present a large number of examples taken from common operating systems, including WindowsNT and Solaris 2. This book teaches general principles in operating systems while giving the teacher and students the flexibility to choose the implementation system.

Tanenbaum’s Distributed Operating Systems fulfills this need. Representing a revised and greatly expanded Part II of the best-selling Modern Operating Systems, it covers the material from the original book, including communication, synchronization, processes, and file systems, and adds new material on distributed shared memory, real-time distributed systems, fault-tolerant distributed systems, and ATM networks. It also contains four detailed case studies: Amoeba, Mach, Chorus, and OSF/DCE. Tanenbaum’s trademark writing provides readers with a thorough, concise treatment of distributed systems.

"Just like the first edition, this revision fills the gaps in the professional literature and provides a practical, rather than theoretical, discussion of the purpose, nature, and principles of proper testing. While the book focuses on methodologies for the design of effective test cases, it also covers the psychological and economic issues that are essential to a full understanding of program testing." Many programming students enter the work-force without the proper understanding of software testing. This book covers all the essential topics for those students, but also provides all the detail and precision that working programmers might need during the testing phase. Appropriate for programmers and students at any level, The Art of Software Testing, Second Edition presents all the latest new ideas and techniques — many illustrated with helpful examples. This guide includes code-inspection checklists, a self-assessment test, and other resources programmers need for effective testing — and fewer bugs.
