TLDR
This book presents the nature and characteristics of modern-day operating systems clearly and completely, and serves as both a basic reference and an up-to-date survey of the state of the art.Abstract:
Serving as both a basic reference and an up-to-date survey of the state of the art, this book covers the concepts, structure, and mechanisms of operating systems. Stallings presents the nature and characteristics of modern-day operating systems clearly and completely. Updated treatment of Windows as a case study to cover Windows Vista. Online animations with references incorporated throughout. A new chapter on Embedded Operating Systems. Part Six (Distributed Systems and Security) moved online, reducing the cost and size of the book without loss of content. Expanded coverage of security. New figures added, with many existing figures updated to enhance clarity. A useful reference for programmers, systems engineers, network designers and others involved in the design of computer products, information system and computer system personnel.read more

A low-overhead constant-time Lowest-Timestamp-First CPU scheduler for high-performance optimistic simulation platforms
TL;DR: The article presents a low-overhead constant-time implementation of the well known Lowest-Timestamp-First algorithm for the identification of the next LP to be CPU-dispatched, suited for contexts where the optimistic simulation system conforms to the best-practice of keeping separate event lists for the hosted LPs.
Efficient round robin cpu scheduling algorithm for operating systems
TL;DR: The main objective of this paper is to develop a new approach for round robin C P U scheduling algorithm which improves the performance of CPU in real time operating system and implements the concept of aging by assigning new priorities to the processes.

A Sandpile cellular automata-based scheduler and load balancer
TL;DR: A novel load balancing and rescheduling approach based on the concept of the Sandpile cellular automaton: a decentralized multi-agent system working in a critical state at the edge of chaos to provide fairness between concurrent job submissions in highly parallel and distributed environments such as currently built cloud computing systems.
