Product Description: The Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) is a multiple language runtime system, first implemented as the .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR). In March, 2002 Microsoft released the Shared Source CLI implementation (aka Rotor)for general educational use...read more

Product Description: Operating Systems provides an understanding of contemporary operating system concepts by integrating the principles behind the design of all operating systems with how they are put into practice in the real world. Throughout, Gary Nutt provides a complete discussion of operating concepts and supplements this with real code examples, algorithms, and discussions about implementation issues...read more

Operating Systems: A Modern Perspective brings a balanced approach to the study of operating systems combining a careful examination of theoretical issues with real-world, hands-on problems and examples. Throughout the text, discussions of theory are enhanced with detailed code and algorithm examples to allow students to see the theory as it has been implemented in modern operating systems.In addition to covering operating system fundamentals the author, Gary Nutt, considers issues of performance and discusses how various parts of the system are related to real-world demand and hardware constraints. The text also includes coverage of modern topics such as concurrency, distributed systems, and networking. Examples from UNIX and Linux give students an opportunity to examine and learn from the source code of actual commercial operating systems.Features: * Reinforces and reviews the important concepts students need to know from computer organization and architecture courses. * Highlights performance issues as a fundamental factor affecting how operating systems are designed. * Includes implementation examples drawn from the source code of commercial operating systems like Linux and a case study on Windows NT. * Utilizes Linux source code to provide hands-on exercises modifying and constructing components of actual systems. * Provides an author-maintained World Wide Web page with links to current OS technical material and references. * Offers additional instructional resources to qualified instructors through Addison-Wesley. 0805312951B04062001 (view table of contents)

Product Description: This text shows how basic concepts, relating to operating systems, are designed and implemented on Windows NT. It provides a series of 12 lab exercises which ask students to write programs for NT's Win 32 API. Each exercise contains an introduction to the relevant NT concepts needed...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: An introduction to issues in contemporary operating systems which progresses from concepts that apply to all operating systems to the principles of distributed operating systems. Topics on distributed systems include system management, nets, distributed storage and remote procedure calls...read more
