It combines coverage of distributed operating systemsand distributed algorithms, allowing instructors to cover thealgorithms involved in distributed operating systems with optionaldepth as desired and motivate the study of distributed algorithmsby showing how they are applied in operating systems. Currently allbooks treat these as separate topics. This text includes coverageof parallel systems, distributed systems, real-time systems,computer networks and algorithms for asynchronous distributedsystems, and uses examples from many commercial and experimentaloperating systems. Included in the book are a number of programmingprojects. For Sale in Indiansubcontinent only Integrates and balances coverage of the advanced aspects of operating systems with the distributed algorithms used by these systems. Includes extensive references to commercial and experimental systems to illustrate the concepts and implementation issues. Provides precise algorithm description and explanation of why these algorithms were developed. Structures the coverage of algorithms around the creation of a framework for implementing a replicated server-a prototype for implementing a fault-tolerant and highly available distributed system. Contains programming projects on such topics as sockets, RPC, threads, and implementation of distributed algorithms using these tools. Includes an extensive annotated bibliography for each chapter, pointing the reader to recent developments. PART I DISTRIBUTED OPERATING SYSTEMS.
