Renting vs. Buying This Textbook

Renting is usually cheapest if you only need the book for one term: you return it with a free prepaid label when the term ends. Buying used can beat renting when the sell-back price is high, so compare the sell-back price with the rental price before you decide. An eTextbook arrives instantly but usually expires. Rentals and used copies rarely include working access codes.

Always match the ISBN on your syllabus (9780201423006) before you order; different editions have different ISBNs.

About This Book

This text is an introduction to the design and implementation of various types of system software. A central theme of the book is the relationship between machine architecture and systems software. The third edition has been updated to include current architecture, and the coverage of Operating Systems now includes shared/distributed memory and client/server systems. This book contains a wide selection of examples and exercises which are all optional, providing flexibility to instructors by allowing them to concentrate on the software and architecture they want to cover.
