Operating System Galvin 10th Edition

[Temika]

Thetenth edition of Operating System Concepts has been revised to keep it fresh and up-to-date with contemporary examples of how operating systems function, as well as enhanced interactive elements to improve learning and the student's experience with the material. It combines instruction on concepts with real-world applications so that students can understand the practical usage of the content. End-of-chapter problems, exercises, review questions, and programming exercises help to further reinforce important concepts. New interactive self-assessment problems are provided throughout the text to help students monitor their level of understanding and progress. A Linux virtual machine (including C and Java source code and development tools) allows students to complete programming exercises that help them engage further with the material.

The document summarizes key concepts about virtual memory from the 10th edition of the textbook "Operating System Concepts". It discusses how virtual memory allows processes to have a logical address space larger than physical memory by swapping pages between main memory and secondary storage as needed. When a process attempts to access a memory page not currently in RAM, a page fault occurs which is handled by the operating system by finding a free frame, loading the requested page, and resuming execution. Page replacement algorithms like FIFO are used when free frames are unavailable. Demand paging loads pages lazily on first access rather than up front.Read less

I am student from CS background and I have Operating Systems in my upcoming semester. A simple search around the internet revealed that that Operating System Concepts by Silberschatz and Galvin is one of the best ones to follow.

Now the above text is probably in its 10th edition currently. Now I won't be able to afford a physical copy of the latest edition, so I was looking around for few cheap used copies and found abundance of 5th edition and few 6th edition texts.

Consider the title: Operating System Concepts. It is about basic and fundamental concepts that underlie operating systems. The basic concepts, the core material of the text, are not going to change much from first edition to the tenth.
