Operating System A Practical Approach
This is a comprehensive textbook for B.E./B.Tech. students of Computer Science and Engineering, Information Technology, BCA and MCA. The book discusses the concepts, principles and applications of Operating Systems in an easy-to-understand language. It also incorporates several experiments to be performed in O.S. labs. Divided into four units, this book describes the history, evolution, functions, types and characteristics of Operating Systems. It provides a detailed account of memory management, virtual memory, processes, CPU scheduling and process synchronization. Moreover, it covers deadlocks, device management and secondary storage structure. Besides the book also explains information management, assembly language programming and protection. The text is supported by several practical examples and case studies.

It is a great pleasure to write a preface to this book. In my view, the content is unique in that it blends traditional teaching approaches with the use of mathematics and a mainstream Hardware Design Language (HDL) as formalisms to describe key concepts. The book keeps the “machine” separate from the “application” by strictly following a bottom-up approach: it starts with transistors and logic gates and only introduces assembly language programs once their execution by a processor is clearly de ned. Using a HDL, Verilog in this case, rather than static circuit diagrams is a big deviation from traditional books on computer architecture. Static circuit diagrams cannot be explored in a hands-on way like the corresponding Verilog model can. In order to understand why I consider this shift so important, one must consider how computer architecture, a subject that has been studied for more than 50 years, has evolved. In the pioneering days computers were constructed by hand. An entire computer could (just about) be described by drawing a circuit diagram. Initially, such d- grams consisted mostly of analogue components before later moving toward d- ital logic gates. The advent of digital electronics led to more complex cells, such as half-adders, ip- ops, and decoders being recognised as useful building blocks.
