  • 9780321486134
Subject(s): LOC classification:
  • QA 75.5 .R36 2011
Contents:
Introduction -- Processor architecture -- Processor implementation -- Interrupts, traps, and exceptions -- Processor performance and pipelined processor design -- Processor scheduling -- Memory management techniques -- Details of page-based memory management -- Memory hierarchy -- Input / output and stable storage -- File system -- Multithreaded programming and multiprocessors -- Fundamentals of networking and network protocols -- Epilogue : a look back at the journey.
Summary: In the early days of computing, hardware and software systems were designed separately. Today, as multicore systems predominate, this separation is becoming impractical. Computer Systems examines the key elements of all computer systems using an integrated approach that treats hardware and software as part of the same, larger system. Students gain important insights into the interplay between hardware and software and leave the course with a better understanding of a modern computer system.
