The book provides the reader with a solid understanding of the key mechanisms of modern operating systems and the types of design trade-offs and decisions involved in OS design."

Among the topics covered: threads, distributed systems, real time systems, process migration, multiprocessor scheduling, and security."--BOOK JACKET.
