Discovering and understanding operating systems is made straightforward with the book Understanding Operating Systems, 8E. The book starts by explaining the fundamentals before delving into specific operating systems. This revised edition offers expanded analysis and discussions on how modern innovations – like multi-core processing and wireless technologies – have affected current operating systems. Practical exercises include revised research topics that encourage readers to investigate emerging and influential topics on their own. The final four chapters of the book also include updates on the most current versions of UNIX (including the latest Macintosh OS), Linux, Windows, and Android, giving readers the knowledge they need to work most efficiently with today’s systems.
