快速： 免费书籍章节 - 精装本 - 平装本（亚马逊） 购买 PDF - 欧盟（Lulu） - 在印度购买 - 购买东西 - 捐赠 - 对于教师来说 - 家庭作业 - 项目 - 消息 - 致谢 - 其他书籍 Welcome to Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces (now version 1.10 -- see
book news for details), a free online operating systems
book! The book is centered around three conceptual pieces that are
fundamental to operating systems: virtualization, concurrency, and
persistence. In understanding the conceptual, you will also learn the
practical, including how an operating system does things like schedule the
CPU, manage memory, and store files persistently. Lots of fun stuff! Or
maybe not so fun? This book is and will always be free in PDF form, as seen below. For
those of you wishing to BUY a copy, please consider the following:

INSTRUCTORS: If you are using these free chapters, please just link to
them directly (instead of making a copy locally); we make little improvements
frequently and thus would like to provide the latest to whomever is using it.
Also: we have made our own class-preparation notes available to those of you
teaching from this book; please drop us a line at ostep.book@gmail.com if you
are interested. | |||
|
HOMEWORKS: Some of the chapters have homeworks at the end, which
require simulators and other code. More details on that, including how to find
said code, can be found here: HOMEWORK | |||
|
PROJECTS: While the book should provide a good conceptual guide to key
aspects of modern operating systems, no education is complete without
projects. We are in the process of making the projects we use at the
University of Wisconsin-Madison widely available; an initial link to project
descriptions is available here:
PROJECTS. Coming
soon: the automated testing framework that we use to grade projects. | |||
