Understanding the LINUX Kernel: From I/O Ports to Process Management

Buy
Understanding the Linux Kernel helps readers understand how Linux performs best and how
it meets the challenge of different environments. The authors introduce each topic by
explaining its importance, and show how kernel operations relate to the utilities that are
familiar to Unix programmers and users.

The idea was to encourage students to read the source code. To achieve this, we assigned term
projects consisting of making changes to the kernel and performing tests on the modified
version. We also wrote course notes for our students about a few critical features of Linux like
task switching and task scheduling.

We continued along this line in the spring semester of 1998, but we moved on to the Linux
2.1 development version. Our course notes were becoming larger and larger. In July, 1998 we
contacted O'Reilly & Associates, suggesting they publish a whole book on the Linux kernel.
The real work started in the fall of 1998 and lasted about a year and a half. We read thousands
of lines of code, trying to make sense of them. After all this work, we can say that it was
worth the effort. We learned a lot of things you don't find in books, and we hope we have
succeeded in conveying some of this information in the following pages.

Doctor Dolittle's Delusion: Animals and the Uniqueness of Human Language

Dr. Dolittle—and many students of animal communication—are wrong: animals cannot use language. This fascinating book explains why. Can animals be taught a human language and use it to communicate? Or is human language unique to human beings, just as many complex behaviors of other species are uniquely theirs? This engrossing book...

Rules of Play: Game Design Fundamentals
For hundreds of years, the field of game design has drifted along under the radar of culture, producing timeless masterpieces and masterful time-wasters without drawing much attention to itself-without, in fact, behaving like a "field" at all. Suddenly, powered by the big bang of computer technology, game design has...
The Seven Desires of Every Heart
The Seven Desires of Every Heart
We believe that God created us with seven basic, universal desires. Each of us desires to be heard and understood, to be affirmed, to be blessed, to be safe, to be touched, to be chosen, and to be included. Having and fulfilling these desires validates our very existence. If these basic desires are fulfilled, we will enjoy a deeper and richer...
