Prerequisites for the course generally include an introductory course on computer architecture and an advanced programming course.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cp\u003eThe goal of this book is to bring together and explain current practice in operating systems. This includes much of what is traditionally covered in operating-system textbooks: concurrency, scheduling, linking and loading, storage management (both real and virtual), file systems, and security. However, the book also covers issues that come up every day in operating-systems design and implementation but are not often taught in undergraduate courses. For example, the text includes:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDeferred work, which includes deferred and asynchronous procedure calls in Windows, tasklets in Linux, and interrupt threads in Solaris.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe intricacies of thread switching, on both uniprocessor and multiprocessor systems.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eModern file systems, such as ZFS and WAFL.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDistributed file systems, including CIFS and NFS version 4.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book and its accompanying significant programming projects make students come to grips with current operating systems and their major operating-system components and to attain an intimate understanding of how they work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProfessor Doeppner\u003c\/strong\u003e is an associate professor of computer science at Brown University.
