1. Introduction -- Part I Kernels and processes -- 2. The Kernel abstraction -- 3. The Programming interface -- Part II Concurrency -- 4. Concurrency and threads -- 5. Synchronizing access to shared objects -- 6. Multi-object synchronization -- 7. Scheduling -- Part II Memory management -- 9. Caching and virtual memory -- 10.

Summary: Over the past two decades, there has been a huge amount of innovation in both the principles and practice of operating systems Over the same period, the core ideas in a modern operating system - protection, concurrency, virtualization, resource allocation, and reliable storage - have become widely applied throughout computer science. Whether you get a job at Facebook, Google, Microsoft, or any other leading-edge technology company, it is impossible to build resilient, secure, and flexible computer systems without the ability to apply operating systems concepts in a variety of settings. This book examines the both the principles and practice of modern operating systems, taking important, high-level concepts all the way down to the level of working code. Because operating systems concepts are among the most difficult in computer science, this top to bottom approach is the only way to really understand and master this important material.
