Эндрю Таненбаум - все книги по циклам и сериям | Книги по порядку

Эта книга является фундаментальным курсом по распределенным системам. В ней детально описаны принципы, концепции и технологии этих систем: связь, процессы, синхронизация, целостность и репликация, защита от сбоев и безопасность. Особое внимание в книге уделено World Wide Web, развитие которой и послужило толчком к резкому повышению интереса к распределенным системам. Как это характерно для всех книг Э.Таненбаума, последовательное и детальное изложение теории сопровождается примерами реально действующих систем.

Книга предназначена прежде всего студентам и преподавателям, но, безусловно, будет полезна и специалистам данной области.

As distributed computer systems become more pervasive, there is a need for a book that explains how their operating systems are designed and implemented. This book, which is a revised and expanded Part II of the best selling MODERN OPERATING SYSTEMS, fulfills that need. KEY TOPICS: It covers the material from the original book, including communication, synchronization, processes and file systems, and adds new material on distributed shared memory. It also contains 4 detailed case studies,Amoeba, Mach, Chorus, and OSF/DCE. Tanenbaum's trademark writing style provides the reader with a thorough yet concise treatment of distributed systems.

Most books on operating systems deal with theory while ignoring practice. While the usual principles are covered in detail, the book describes a small, but real UNIX-like operating system: MINIX. The book demonstrates how it works while illustrating the principles behind it. Operating Systems: Design and Implementation Second Edition provides the MINIX source code. The relevant selections of the MINIX code are described in detail. When it first came out, MINIX caused something of a revolution. Within weeks, it had its own newsgroup on USENET, with 40,000 people. Most wanted to make MINIX bigger and fancier. Instead, Linux was created. That has become quite popular, very large, and complicated. MINIX, on the other hand, has remained small and suitable for instruction and example. The book has been revised to include updates in MINIX, which started out as a v 7 unix clone for a floppy-disk only 8088. It is now aimed at 386, 486, and pentium machines and is based on the international posix standard instead of on v7. There are now also versions of MINIX for the Macintosh and SPARC available. Professional programmers will find this book to be a valuable resource and reference book.
