OPERATING SYSTEM DESIGN
CHAP. 12
27.
Write programs that enter randomly generated short strings into an array and then can
search the array for a given string using (a) a simple linear search (brute force), and (b)
a more sophisticated method of your choice. Recompile your programs for array sizes
ranging from small to as large as you can handle on your system. Evaluate the per-
formance of both approaches. Where is the break-even point?
28.
Write a program to simulate an in-memory file system.

READING LIST AND BIBLIOGRAPHY
In the previous 12 chapters we have touched upon a variety of topics. This
chapter is intended to aid
readers interested in pursuing their study of operating
systems further. Section 13.1 is a list of suggested readings.
Section 13.2 is an
alphabetical bibliography of all books and articles cited in this book.
In addition to the references given below, the
ACM Symposium on Operating
Systems Principles
(SOSP) held in odd-numbered years and the
USENIX Sympo-
sium on Operating Systems Design and Implementation
(OSDI) held in even num-
bered years are good sources for ongoing work on operating systems.
The
Eurosys
Conference
, held annually is also a source of top-flight papers.
Furthermore, the
journals
ACM Transactions on Computer Systems
and
ACM SIGOPS Operating
Systems Review
, often have relevant articles.
Many other ACM, IEEE, and
USENIX conferences deal with specialized topics.
13.1 SUGGESTIONS FOR FURTHER READING
In this section, we give some suggestions for further reading. Unlike the papers
cited in the sections entitled ‘‘RESEARCH ON ...’’ inthe text, which are about cur-
rent research, these references are mostly introductory or tutorial in nature. They
can, however, serve to present material in this book from a different perspective or
with a different emphasis.

READING LIST AND BIBLIOGRAPHY
CHAP. 13
13.1.1 Introduction
Silberschatz et al.,
Operating System Concepts
, 9th ed.,
A general textbook on operating systems.
It covers processes, memory man-
agement, storage management, protection and security, distributed systems, and
some special-purpose systems. Two case studies are given: Linux and Windows 7.
The cover is full of dinosaurs.
These are legacy animals, to empahsize that operat-
ing systems also carry a lot of legacy.
Stallings,
Operating Systems
, 7th ed.,
Still another textbook on operating systems.
It covers all the traditional topics,
and also includes a small amount of material on distributed systems.
Stevens and Rago,
Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment
This book tells how to write C programs that use the UNIX system call inter-
face and the standard C library. Examples are based on the System V Release 4 and
the 4.4BSD versions of UNIX.
The relationship of these implementations to
POSIX is described in detail.
Tanenbaum and Woodhull,
Operating Systems Design and Implementation
A hands-on way to learn about operating systems.
This book discusses the
usual principles, but in addition discusses an actual operating system,
MINIX 3
, in
great detail, and contains a listing of that system as an appendix.
13.1.2 Processes and Threads
Arpaci-Dusseau and Arpaci-Dusseau,
Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces
The entire first part of this book is dedicated to virtualization of the CPU to
share it with multiple processes. What is nice about this book (besides the fact that
there is a free online version), is that it introduces not only the concepts of process-
ing and scheduling techniques, but also the APIs and systems calls like
fork
and
exec
in some detail.
Andrews and Schneider, ‘‘Concepts and Notations for Concurrent Programming’’
A tutorial and survey of processes and interprocess communication, including
busy waiting, semaphores, monitors, message passing, and other techniques.
The
article also shows how these concepts are embedded in various programming lan-
guages. The article is old, but it has stood the test of time very well.
Ben-Ari,
Principles of Concurrent Programming
This little book is entirely devoted to the problems of interprocess communica-
tion. There are chapters on mutual exclusion, semaphores, monitors, and the dining
philosophers problem, among others. It, too, has stood up very well over the years.
