professor:
Welcome to read this book, English book titled "Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces", for me to teach knowledge about the operating system. Please introduce yourself.
student:
Professor, hello, I am a student, you might have guessed, I'm ready to start learning!
professor:
well. Is there a problem?
student:
Have! Why the book is about "three simple partial"?
professor:
this is very simple. Richard Feynman had a few lectures on physics, very good ......
student:
Ah, is the author of "Stop it, Mr. Feynman" in it? The book is great! This book will be like the book as it funny?
professor:
Uh ...... not. That book is really great, I'm glad you read it. I hope this book is more like his lectures on physics. Some of the basic elements together into a book called "Six Easy Pieces". He spoke of physics, and we will explore the theme of three simple parts of the operating system. This is appropriate, because of the difficulty of the operating system is almost half of physics.
student:
Understand, I like physics. Which three part?
professor:
Virtualization (virtualization), concurrency (concurrency) and persistence (persistence). This is what we want to learn the three key concepts. By learning these three concepts, we will understand how the operating system works, including how it determines the next which uses the CPU, how to deal with the virtual memory system memory usage overload, how the virtual machine monitor work, how to manage disk the data will also talk about how to build distributed systems that are able to function properly when some of the nodes fail.
student:
For you say that, I have no idea.
professor:
Great, this means you come to the right place.
student:
I have another question: learning content What is the best way?
professor:
good question! Of course, everyone has their own way of learning, but my approach is: First of all lectures, listening to the teacher to explain and take notes, read notes and then every weekend in order to better understand these concepts. Over a period of time (such as before the exam), then read it again notes to further consolidate the knowledge. Of course, teachers will certainly assignments and projects, you need to seriously complete. In particular, to do the project, you can write real code to solve the real problem, which is the concept of living in the notes to learn and use. Like Confucius put it ......
student:
I know! "If the smell does not smell, if the smell does not see it, see if it does not know it, know it is not OK if it."
professor:
(Surprised) You know how I have to say this?
student:
This seems very coherent. I'm a fan of Confucius, is a fan of Zi, Xun Zi is actually saying this man [1]
。
professor:
(Stunned) I guess we'll get along very happy.
student:
Professor, I have a problem, we have this dialogue with what. I mean if this is only a book, why do not you come on direct knowledge about it?
professor:
good question! I think sometimes will pull away from the narrative out, and then some thought would be more useful. The dialogue is thinking. We will collaborate to explore all of these complex concepts. To this end it is you come?
student:
So we have to think about? Well, what I was coming. But what do I do? It looks like I was born for this purpose the book.
professor:
me too. We begin to learn it!
[1] Confucian thinker Xun Zi once said: "No smell is not as smell, if the smell does not see it, see if it does not know it, if know it is not the line of." Later, I do not know how this famous saying attributed to Confucius head . Thank Jiao Dong (Rutgers) told us.
** dialogue watching, wondering what time the book shelves do? Is expected tomorrow or the day will be at Jingdong, Dangdang buy. If you hurry, you can purchase the official venue asynchronous community. **

- Leading US textbook Operating System
- Closely around the operating system of the three major themes: virtualization concurrency and persistence to explain
- Watercress original score 9.7
The book around virtualization, the three main concepts of concurrent and persistent launched, features all the major components of modern systems (including scheduling, virtual memory management, disk and I / O subsystems, file systems). The book has 50 chapters, divided into three parts, namely about virtualization, concurrency, and persistence of relevant content. On the introduction of the concept of dialogue in the form of theme introduced, but incisive language of humor, and strive to help the reader understand the operating system virtualization, concurrency, and persistence principle.
The book is comprehensive and gives the code (not the pseudo-code) to run the real, also provides a corresponding practice, it is suitable for teachers to carry out the relevant professional institutions of higher learning and teaching college students self-study.
This book has the following features:
● prominent theme, focus on three main themes of the operating system - virtualization, concurrency, and persistence.
● the dialogue of the introduction of the background, ask questions, and then explain the principles, inspired by hands-on practice.
● contains a number of "complementary" and "tips" to expand the readers knowledge, increase the fun.
● using real code instead of pseudo-code, allowing readers more in-depth and thorough understanding of operating system.
● provide many job learning, simulation and projects to encourage readers to hands-on practice.
● provide resources for teachers teaching aids.
This book provides resources for teachers teaching aids as follows:
- PPT teaching and lecture notes.
- Exam questions and suggested answers.
- Discussion questions and assignments.
- Project description and guidance.
If you are a teacher, want teaching support resources, please send an email to [email protected] application.
