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 hybrid approach to synchronization in real time multiprocessor systems
Muny Tamut,Kunal Chakma +1 more
TL;DR: The proposed protocol will make use of the very famous priority ceiling protocol on the uniprocessor level, for accessing local resources, while a lock-free approach will be employed; whenever a task requests an access to a global resource.

Leveraging N-1 Queues to Improve the Energy Efficiency of Scalable Computing
Cheng Hu,Huan Luo,Mingdong Tang +2 more
TL;DR: An N-1 queueing and on-demand resource provisioning method to process workloads in the mode of N- 1 service queues, where fewer working nodes are enough to meet the same Service Level Agreement (SLA) on same workloads.
Improved Shortest Remaining Burst Round Robin (ISRBRR) Using RMS as its time quantum
TL;DR: In this article, an improved version of SRBRR (Shortest Remaining Burst Round Robin) by assigning the processor to processes with shortest remaining burst in round robin manner using the RMS as its time quantum is computed as the root mean square of the burst times.
Weighted Pre-Emptive Modified Highest Response Ratio Next
TL;DR: A weighted preemptive modified HRRN (WPMHRRN) algorithm has been developed that prevents indefinite postponements but uses equal weights for both priorities.

Partitioning the Conventional DBT System for Multiprocessors
TL;DR: This paper proposes a novel multithreaded architecture for DBT system through partitioning distinct function module, which is to adequately utilize multiprocessors resource and indicates that this new architecture can achieve higher performance.
