Customer Reviews

Well written book with a lot of figures and diagram

This book was well written. I am a graduate computer science student, who rarely used this book, but when I had reviewed the book provided detail information. This book helps you understand a lot about the overall fundamentals of Computer-System Structure, Processes, Threads, CPU Scheduling, Synchronization, Deadlocks, and Memory Management.
