Hallmark Features

- Applied examples of operating systems concepts using Java allows students to better understand many operating systems concepts using a "real" language rather than a pedagogic tool
- Uses numerous examples of current operating systems including Solaris, Windows NT, and Linux. This allows students to see how a real operating system implements the concepts discussed and provides instructors the opportunity to speak at a practical and conceptual level.
- Provides a chapter devoted to threads. Because threads are an increasingly important topic in an operating systems curriculum the authors have devoted an entire chapter to this topic. This complete coverage provides students with the ability to develop multithreaded solutions to classic problems. Instructors are able to use real examples of threads and the opportunity to discuss how Java threads relate to threads in the underlying operating system.
- Provides a Java-based thread scheduler. The thread scheduler allows students to better understand how the operating system schedules threads. Instructors will find that the thread scheduler can be extended for further functionality allowing for a more advanced discussion of scheduling issues.
